1926: a 28-page book sells 1.5M copies. The method: write what you want, read it daily. It Works Now adds the missing piece - track what actually happens. The List for what you want (things, experiences). The Money Map for income (net, spendable). Activity Rings for momentum. Intelligence for patterns and blind spots. Paper journal meets digital proof. No hustle theater. No woo. Free to use.
This app was on my list before it existed.
I've been using the "It Works" method since 2019 — a tiny 28-page book from 1926 with a simple practice: write what you want, read it daily, and watch what happens.
The idea behind it: your subconscious makes thousands of micro-decisions daily - what you notice, who you reach out to, which opportunities feel right. Most of it runs on autopilot. The method gives it a direction.
I did it with pen and paper (still do). But I couldn't track the evidence. No patterns. No "how long did this take?" I tracked revenue in a spreadsheet with no way to connect it to what I'd written down.
So I wrote: "build an It Works tracking app" on my list.
32 days later, itworks.now became the evidence.
I'm Mihai. 44. Dad of two. Based in Europe. I build things for myself, and for people who do things for other people.
What it does:
→ The List (intentions)
→ The Money Map (income evidence)
→ Activity Rings (momentum like Apple Fitness, but for money)
→ Intelligence (predictions + calibration — find where you fool yourself)
No hustle theater. No manifestation woo woo. Just: write it down, track what happens, learn from the gap.
Free to start. I'd love your feedback: what feels useful, and what's missing?

I've been using the "It Works" method informally for years—writing goals in Notion, tracking revenue in spreadsheets, but never connecting the two. The "32 days later, it became evidence" story hits hard. My biggest question is about the Intelligence feature: when you say it finds "where you fool yourself," does it compare your written intentions against actual outcome timelines to surface patterns, or does it use AI to analyze your language for overconfidence markers? Also, how does it handle non-financial goals like "finish the book" where success isn't measurable in dollars?
@easytoolsdev Thanks for the kind words about the 32-days story - glad it landed.
Intelligence / “where you fool yourself”
It’s neither of the two things you guessed. There’s no AI analyzing your language. Intelligence is prediction calibration: you make predictions with a probability (e.g. “Client will sign by Friday” at 70%), set a resolve date, and later mark them true or false. The app then compares your stated confidence to what actually happened...e.g. when you said 70%, did it happen about 70% of the time? “Where you fool yourself” is where you’re systematically overconfident (or under-confident): your confidence and reality don’t match. So it’s your own probabilities vs your own outcomes, no AI and no automatic intention/income linking in that screen (that’s the separate practice of The List + Money Map + your weekly review).
Non-financial goals like “finish the book”
They fit Intelligence well. You add a prediction (e.g. “I’ll finish the first draft by March 15”), pick a probability and a resolve date, and when the date comes you mark it true or false. Success isn’t in dollars / it’s binary: did it happen or not? You can also use The List for the same goal (e.g. “Finish the book” as an intention and mark it “it worked” when done). So “finish the book” is supported both as a calibrated prediction and as a list intention.
Sounds like a great tool for focusing attention on what's important.
What's the book called?
@cynamoon that's a great question. The book is called "It Works! The Famous Little Red Book that Makes Your Dreams Come True..." :) and it's available on Amazon for $4
Good luck, Mihai! Is this app also for whoever doesn't necessarily have a financial goal, but other intentions, such as trips, or finishing a project etc.? 😁
I know the book works and even our 16 year old daughter tried the method, also. I’ve just started to use It Works Now to see real dreams come true and began to dream bigger and bigger, and to see how dreams (intentions, visions) turn into plans and into reality.
@dana_dragomirescu it works! it really does :) thanks for your support, love!
This fits nicely with a set of consciousness experiments I am conducting. Happy to come across it and interested in testing it.
@bruce_kasanoff that sounds very interesting - i will be more than excited to work on this with you - we can discuss this on Linkedin, sent you a message there 🙏
First time hearing this method was from Brian Tracy (best-selling author and coach). The method definitely works. Happy to find this app.
@florin_ionescu happy you found it too! Interesting stuff about Brian Tracy. Neville Goddard also speaks about this
