Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I forget to mark whether I actually did the thing, so days slip by unlogged and I only notice gaps later from memory
• My days just dissolve one into the next with no real reckoning
• My motivation runs out by day three every time and the habit just quietly dies
• It’s not that I won’t do the habit
• I keep nothing written down, so every fresh start I’m working from a fuzzy memory of last time
