Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve been logging faithfully for a while but I’m starting to doubt the numbers
- I only ever log the days that go well and quietly drop the tracking the moment things slip
- I’m sick of logging everything
- When it’s just me and my private tracker, no one ever sees the gaps, so it’s far too easy to fudge a day and let it slide
- Some of what I’m tracking has quietly become just who I am now
Practices that may help
