The method

A commitment system for people who are done performing productivity.

Align is built around one belief: consistency comes from fewer decisions, not more tools. The method is simple enough to remember without the app, which is the point.

01

Work in windows, not forever plans.

A 14-day window is long enough to create traction and short enough to keep urgency honest.

02

Three moves forces real prioritization.

If everything belongs today, nothing does. Align keeps the day narrow on purpose.

03

Showed up is the metric.

Completion is noisy. Some days are partial. Some days are messy. Showing up is the repeatable signal.

04

The app should disappear behind the work.

No streak theater, fake levels, or productivity cosplay. Direction, moves, check-in, done.

In practice

Pick one to three directions. Protect three moves. Answer honestly at night. Repeat for fourteen days.

The method should feel simple enough to carry in your head. The app exists to support the rhythm, not become the rhythm.
