"Infractions were marked with a black spot. The first week he focused on temperance, trying to keep that line clear, while not worrying about the other lines. With that virtue strengthened, he could turn his attention to the next one, silence, hoping that the temperance line would stay clear as well. In the course of the year, he would complete the thirteen-week cycle four times." From the biography by Walter Isaacson:
