I think I came up with the slashed out days:

I'm happy to hear it's working for you. I didn't use
it myself, just because I hadn't thought of it when I
started, but it has an obvious appeal and it sounds
like it's working for people. I'll stick a mention on
the home page so newbies don't have to dig for it. 

Note that the concept works for other habits, too,
like exercise (for sticklers, possibly using a
different image than a slash, like an ink blot boot
for walking). Yes, "everyday systems" shouldn't
involve keeping track of things, but this is minimal
and temporary. Slashing doesn't take much effort, and
one you've got the habit down you stop.
