The app I built for myself (that maybe you need too)
Get started with the ChaseTracker today!
👋, friends!
Last fall, I wrote a series of essays I’d been sitting on for a while.
They were my attempt to articulate something I’d been bumping into for years — both in my own life and in the conversations Ben and I keep having on the show.
I don’t think the real problem is that people don’t understand what they should be doing. The problem is the gap between knowing and actually doing it, day after day, when the motivation fades and the lazy river is doing its thing.
I wrote those essays because I needed to think the idea through. And once I did, as I’m prone to do, I needed to build something.
That something is the ChaseTracker app.
It’s a simple daily tracking tool built around the Five Factors — how you move, eat, think, connect, and rest. You define the specific actions that actually matter for you. You track whether you’re doing them. Over time, you see the patterns. The connection between your sleep and your choices. The weeks that went sideways and why. The quiet compounding of a lot of good-enough days.
As is the case with so many things we talk about, this is really an awareness tool — the kind that actually changes behavior because once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
I built it for myself first. Then we made it available to Chase Club members. And now, after getting a bunch of feedback and making improvements, we’re opening it up to everyone.
If you read any of those essays and thought, yeah, that’s me — the app is what I built from feeling the same. (And if you missed the series and want to start from the beginning, The Knowledge-Action Gap is where it begins, and the rest of the essays are linked at the bottom of the page.)
Thanks for checking it out.
