How many days are there altogether?

Nine hundred. Thirty guides, thirty days each, and every one of them written for that book rather than shared between them.

Do I have to do them in order?

No. Every plan says so in its own words: skip days freely, repeat any you like, and if you fall behind pick up where you left off. The only wrong way to use one is to turn it into pressure.

How long does a day take?

Each is written to be doable in about fifteen minutes. The shortest in the whole set is 46 characters long, from Men’s Health After 60: Go to it once. Once is all that's being asked.

Which book should I start with?

The one whose day one you can picture yourself doing tomorrow. That is why every day one is printed above rather than kept behind a purchase.

How many of the nine hundred need me to spend money?

This table cannot answer that as asked, and it would be easy to pretend otherwise. The days are prose, not structured data, so counting the ones that mention a purchase would mean reading nine hundred sentences and making a judgement about each, which nobody here has done. What can be said is that the plans were written around actions that cost nothing: writing something down, asking one question, moving one object.

Can I use the plan without buying the book?

Every day of every plan is on this site, free. The book is the reasoning behind them: why this step, in this order, and what to do when it does not go as described.

Free to read, all of it

The nine hundred days

Every guide ends with thirty small actions, one a day, each doable in about fifteen minutes. Thirty guides makes nine hundred of them. This is the whole set: each row is a book, each square is a day.

a day's action every seventh day, where the plans pause 900 days across 30 guides

The rule behind it

The plan is the book turned into practice, and it is built on one idea: a thing you will actually do beats a thing you ought to do. So every day is small enough to finish in a quarter of an hour, specific enough that you know when it is done, and written for that book alone.

Nothing about it is a course and there is no test. The plans say so in their own words, and they mean it: skip days, repeat days, start again in the middle. Thirty days is the shape, not the requirement.

Day one, from every guide

The first step of all thirty plans, in full. If one of them sounds like something you could do tomorrow, that is the book to start with.
