‘Don’t Break the Chain’ is a method of success originally created by Jerry Seinfield. Jerry placed an X on a calendar for every day he completed writing new material. After a few days a chain of X’s form and the goal is to NOT break the chain by carrying out work for every day of the year. The ‘Don’t Break the Chain’ strategy is a constant reminder which can help pupils stay disciplined, be determined and keep motivated. Pupils can set their own goals and targets, which may be to complete revision or homework every other day, exercise four times times per week or drink two litres of water a day.
