Choose where to grow
Pick 3 to 5 categories out of 15. In each, choose 1 or 2 habits from a library of 15. That is 3 to 10 habits a day, few enough to finish in a minute.
How it works
A hundred days. Small, specific, forgiving.
The 3-6-9-0 Method is built on one belief: you do not need to know how far you can go to take the first step. It asks for a little, every day, across the parts of life you choose.
Four kinds of habit
TickDone, or not
CountHit a daily target
AvoidA day without it
SwapReplace X with Y
Every habit has a tiny version
Doing the tiny version still counts as a win and keeps your streak alive. A full day scores more, but a tiny one is never nothing.
How the score works
Each day scores the average of that day’s habits: a tiny win counts half, a full one counts fully, and a count habit counts as far as you got toward its target. A day at 90% or more is a strong day.
Your completion is the average of your daily scores, with 90% as the target. A missed day scores 0 and breaks the streak, but your percentage still shows, and nothing is erased.
Measure what matters
Some things are measured, not ticked: weight, distance, anything. You enter where you are today, choose which direction is forward, and from then on you are compared only with your own start. Any step forward is named and counted. A bad reading gets no scolding, only an honest note.
Applause for what is true
Showing up counts, even on a day you log nothing. Cheers appear for things that really happened: a tiny win, more than yesterday, a comeback after a miss, a new best on a measure. There is nothing to fail on the Journey page.
Four milestones
Milestones unlock by day only, never by score. Each one has a stage name, a question to answer, and a card you can save and share.
Day 30 · Wedge (Foundation)
Clay is wedged to work the air out before it is shaped. Thirty days in, the rough patches are showing, and that is the point.
Day 60 · Shape (Momentum)
The form is visible now. What you repeat has started to hold.
Day 90 · Dry (Mastery)
Before firing, clay dries slowly and evenly. Ten days left. Do not rush the last stretch.
Day 100 · Fired (Complete)
Fired clay keeps its shape. Whatever you built in these 100 days stays.
Questions
Good to know.
What if I miss a day?
The streak breaks, your completion percentage still shows, and the app welcomes you back. Coming back is counted as a win of its own.
Do I have to be perfect?
No. The target is 90%, not 100%, and a tiny version always counts.
Can I change my habits?
Yes. Open the menu in the app and choose Edit habits. Changes count from today, and past days keep the habits you had then.
Where is my data kept?
On your device, so the app works offline, and in your Bead account, so a new phone or a cleared browser does not lose your days. You sign in with Google. Your notes, your letter and your measures are for you only; the Bead team sees progress numbers such as your day and completion, never what you write. You can delete your account from the app’s menu. Privacy
Can I do this with friends?
Not yet. Following friends and small competitions are planned, and they would compare progress against your own start rather than raw numbers.
Is this medical advice?
No. Bead is a personal habit method, not therapy or treatment. For health concerns, speak to a doctor.
