  • Up to 15 min a day
  • Easy
  • 1 Grace Day

Built for real days

    Use a Grace Day when life gets in the way. Your progress stays, and nothing resets.

  • A clear start and finish

    Tasks go from easy first steps to a simple finish, so you always know what comes next.

The 7-day plan

One task a day, from an easy start to a clear finish. The smaller version always counts as progress.

Getting started

  1. Day 1 · about 15 min

    Check one card or payment app for recurring items you missed, and add them to your list by name.

    Short on time? Look at one month of payments in one app.

  2. Day 2 · about 5 min

    Start a list on paper of every recurring payment you can think of, names only.

    Short on time? Write down three recurring payments by name.

Building momentum

  1. Day 3 · about 15 min

    Set a calendar reminder shortly before one renewal, so you can decide in your own time.

    Short on time? Find one renewal date.

  2. Day 4 · about 15 min

    Tidy your list: group items by type and mark what you use often.

    Short on time? Mark three items you use often.

  3. Day 5 · about 15 min

    Review the apps on your phone that you pay for, and add them to your list.

Before you start

  • This quest is about habits and awareness, not financial advice. For decisions about debt, investments, or taxes, talk to a qualified professional.
  • Keep your list on paper or in your own notes. Do not enter amounts or account details into this quest.
  • Only cancel or change things you are sure about. When in doubt, just make a note and decide later.

Helpful tips

  • Check what a service includes before you cancel it. Some things are worth keeping.
  • Set a reminder before a renewal, so you can decide in your own time.
  • Keep the subscriptions you enjoy and use. This quest is about noticing, not cutting everything.

Two ways to finish well

You can set a reward for each finish when you start. Both are real wins.

Perfect Finish

Every task done, with no Grace Day used. The smaller version counts as done.

Flexible Finish

Every day covered, with Grace Days where you needed them. Missed a day? You're still in.
