Comparison
CardHabit vs 75 Hard.
75 Hard taught you that you could. CardHabit is what comes next. A system for the days after the 75-day program ended — when the habits you built need to survive year two, year three, year ten.
The short version
75 Hard is a structured challenge for people who need extreme proof they can do something hard. It works for the 5% who finish — and most of the rest learn something valuable from trying.
CardHabit is what comes after. A daily card system for people who already know they can push hard and now want a sustainable version. Hard things every day, not extreme things once.

What 75 Hard taught you
75 Hard is a useful crucible. People who finish it learn something real about themselves — that they can do hard things, that discipline is a muscle, that the brain that quits at Day 4 isn't telling the truth. That's worth a lot.
But 75 days end. The system was never designed for Day 76, Day 100, Day 365. The graduation problem is real: most people who finish a 75 Hard don't successfully port the discipline to year two. The challenge gave them belief; it didn't give them an ongoing system.
What CardHabit is for
CardHabit picks up where the challenge ended. Cards are scoped on purpose — small enough that you can actually do them every morning, hard enough to feel like work. The friend mechanic adds the stakes that disappeared when the challenge clock ran out. The system survives missed days, because real life has them.
Hard things, every day. Not extreme things, once. Persistence is the practice — and you already proved you have it. Now use a system that keeps it going.
