The 30-Day Challenge: Build Great Habits for 2026, Keep the App

This handy new Yearly planner will help you get the ball rolling

I'll help you get organized for 2026, and give you Lifetime Pro if you can stick with it for 30 days.

That's the idea behind the 30-Day Challenge. Starting December 1st, I'm inviting you to build a daily planning habit. If you stick with it, Finalist is yours to keep for life, for free.

Here's how it works:

  1. Download Finalist
  2. Accept the challenge after you finish the app intro *
  3. Open the app once a day for 30 days, that's it
  4. Complete the challenge on day 30: lifetime access unlocked

That's it. No credit card. No trial. No tricks. Just you showing up for yourself, one day at a time.

* If you've already installed the app, you'll find the Challenge invite in the About box.

Why 30 days?

Because habits form through repetition. By the time you finish, you'll have a routine. You'll know what works for you. And you'll enter 2026 with clarity instead of scrambling to "get organized" in January like everyone else. And Finalist is a great app to do it with 😀

The Lifetime Pro gift is a thank-you for committing to yourself.

What's in it for Finalist?

I do crazy specials every year, but I thought this year it would be fun to gift the app to those who really want it / need it. And if this works for you, please spread the word and link to the challenge:

What if life gets in the way?

You get one cheat day built in. Miss a day? You're still good. And if you make it past Day 7 but don't complete the full 30, you will earn a special discount. You showed up, that counts for something.

Lean in this December

Most people wait until January 1st to start something new. By then you will already have a strong habit and a brand new app to get you through 2026.

Start anytime this December. Show up for 30 days. See what happens.
