Darius Kasperavicius

I'm Darius, and I build SelfSpark.

I've been quietly obsessed with self-help and personal growth for about 15 years - long enough to have tried most of it: the planners, the streak apps, the cold showers, the 5 a.m. experiments, and the seminars I walked into skeptical. Some of it stuck. Most of it didn't survive a bad week.

I started SelfSpark because I kept failing at habits the same way: one missed day, then "well, I've ruined it now." I wanted a tracker that treats a slip as a re-entry point, not a verdict.

By training I'm in management and economics; in practice I've spent years building software and running my own projects, so I tend to write the way I work: try the thing, measure it, and tell you the honest result, including the parts that didn't work. I'll cite real research where it exists and admit it where it doesn't.

I'm still a bit of a coward about some things. I just try not to let that draw the line for me.

On SelfSpark, I write from the product-builder side of habit change: what people actually do after the plan gets interrupted, what data is useful, and where popular self-improvement ideas create more pressure than progress. My bias is toward small experiments, visible recovery steps, and systems that can survive ordinary chaos.

I am not interested in pretending one tracker can fix everything. The work I publish here is meant to help readers choose a realistic next action, understand the tradeoffs between habit tools, and avoid quitting just because the first version of a routine was too ambitious.
