The Don’t Break the Chain Calendar 2017 is here! This a free download to help you stay on track with your goals all year long.

If you’re not familiar with the calendar, it’s a motivational tool where you pick a goal of something you want to do every day (for example, going for a run or practicing an instrument). Once you do it, you cross off that day on the calendar, and eventually you’ll have built up such a long chain that you won’t want to break it by skipping a day.

This year I’ve also introduced a new expanded calendar with room to write a little note every day, for example if your goal is to do some form of exercise, and you want to keep track of what you’ve done.
