The Anchor

October 11, 2025 - Reading time: ~1 minute

It was the month of February in this year, 2025. We set up a group chat where I invited my friend to join me to do at least 20 reps of push-ups every single day.

We began with just the two of us until our partners, colleagues, and friends joined in.

Great...

We keep doing it every single day, and yes, there are times that we miss it, but because we get notified from the member's update, we can always come back.

Some productivity enthusiasts refer to this concept as "The Anchor." The idea basically is to create something that will remind you of what you are supposed to do.

I was able to write consistently without missing a day because my anchor was a pinned website on the homepage of my browser, which reminds me to write and publish a blog.
