Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When it’s just a promise to myself I let it slide without a second thought, but the moment I have to say out loud to someone else what I’ll get done and then report back, suddenly I actually follow through.
- I start strong and then it just quietly fizzles when nothing’s pulling on me
- Every week just bleeds into the next with no pause to take stock
- I never actually stop to look back at how the week went before barreling into the next, so the same drift quietly compounds week after week
- I start these tracking habits full of intention and then they fall apart within a week
