The Daily Practice

Account Info

Back to Top↑How do I register for a TDP.me account?

You can create an account by using the "Login with Facebook" option or by clicking the "Register" link and button on http://tdp.me.

If you use the Login with Facebook option, you will either be prompted to enter your Facebook login credentials and then confirm the login or just prompted to confirm the login via Facebook.

If you are not currently logged into Facebook you will be prompted to enter your Facebook login information and then prompted to confirm The Daily Practice and Facebook integration.

If you are already logged into Facebook you will just be prompted to confirm The Daily Practice and Facebook integration to continue with the login.

Logging in with Facebook for the first time automatically creates a TDP account with your Facebook Username and your Facebook avatar set as your TDP.me account information.

If you create an account using the Register option, you only need to enter the email address you wish to use with the account and set a password. Once you enter this information just click the Register button.

Regardless of which method you use to create your new TDP.me account, the first page you will see is the Getting Started page.
There are 5 pre-defined Categories (the "I want to improve" pull down list at the top of the page) with some suggested goals for each and at the bottom of the page a place where you can enter custom goals.

You can edit, add or delete goals later, but you have to add at least one goal to complete setup and continue to your TDP page.

Thats it! You are all set up and ready to start making your daily goals your daily habits.

TDP Plus

Back to Top↑What is TDP Plus?

TDP Plus opens up the API and the Quality Days System.

"API" is the abbreviation for application program interface, which is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. If you are not familiar with the term "API" you are most likely not a computer programer and this particular feature is not something you will use or benefit from.

The Quality Day System (QDS) is a feature of TDP Plus to not only define balance in your life, but track how well you are doing with that balance. The idea is that some daily activities are worth more; they contribute to what is most important to each person and the long term actions needed to achieve those goals. While other activities may be ones we enjoy, or have to do, they may not necessarily impact the quality and balance of our day and life.

The task at hand is to define and set QDS goals that are inline with what's most important to you. This is a deliberate choice, by listing things to work on, you choose what to work on. You choose what quality means -- that decision gives you a why. With the goals you track, you now have the how.

The cost for TDP Plus is $5.00 per month. There is no contract and may be canceled at any time. Payment is handled by a 3rd party payment provider, Stripe.com. Charges on your statement will be listed as "J. SHIRLEY PROD 3604503915 NV".
