The system

One system. Eight habits.
A number you can trust.

The Great 8 takes everything that matters for your health and turns it into a game you can actually win. Here’s exactly how the scoring works — and what each habit asks of you.

The scoring, in ten seconds

Every habit, once a day

0 — not completed
1 — partially completed
2 — fully completed

Eight habits × 2 points = 16 points a day. Aim for 12+.

The eight habits

What each one asks of you

1

No alcohol or soda

Cut or limit alcohol, soda, and sugary drinks.

None = 2 · One drink = 1 · Yes = 0
2

8+ hours of sleep

Give your body the recovery that makes everything else work.

8+ hrs = 2 · 6–7 hrs = 1 · Under 6 = 0
3

Active Exercise

Move your body with intention for at least half an hour.

30+ mins = 2 · Under 30 mins = 1 · No exercise = 0
4

Drink Enough Water

Aim for at least 8 glasses (64 oz / 1.9 L) a day.

8+ = 2 · 5–7 = 1 · 0–4 = 0
5

Daily Fruit Serving

Get your servings of fresh fruit in.

2 fruits = 2 · 1 fruit = 1 · No fruit = 0
6

Eat Healthy Meals

Eat meals that actually support your goal.

All meals healthy = 2 · Some healthy = 1 · No healthy meals = 0
7

Daily Vegetable Serving

Fill your plate with vegetables.

3 veggies = 2 · 1–2 veggies = 1 · No veggies = 0
8

Daily Steps

Get your daily steps in to stay moving.

7,000+ steps = 2 · 5,000–6,999 = 1 · Below 5,000 = 0
Your targets

Daily, weekly, monthly

12+

96+
Weekly goal

382+
Monthly goal

Why it works

Better than a plain to-do list

A checklist tells you what to do. A score tells you how you’re doing — and that’s the part that changes behaviour. When your number is low, you don’t feel guilty; you look at which habit dragged it down and fix that one thing tomorrow. It turns vague guilt into a clear next move.
