Post-challenge playbook
What to do from day 31 onward so the habits that stuck actually stay. Six rules, one page.
1. Keep three rules, not thirty
Pick the three rules that produced the biggest change during the challenge and write them on one card. Everything else is optional.
2. Protect one block a day
One protected, distraction-free block per working day is enough to keep the habit alive. Put it in the calendar as a recurring event.
3. Keep the grid running
Print a fresh 30-day grid every month. The visible streak is what stops the slow drift back to old habits.
4. Weekly 10-minute review
Same four questions every week: what held, what slipped, what leaked, what changes next week.
5. Plan the relapse
Travel, deadlines and sickness will break the streak. Decide in advance the single minimum action (one drill) that counts as keeping the habit.
6. Re-run the challenge quarterly
Every 90 days, repeat week 1 of the challenge to reset the notification creep that always comes back.
