This is working spectacularly well, and I’m not even Ben Franklin. As you can see, I only missed one day this week. All of those black X’s are encouraging.
I added a “Notes” page for each month, where I list things that have helped achieve the goal, like pleasant music, preferred walking trails, etc.
I’ve noticed that it’s tempting to begin adding others right away. I found myself driving past the yoga place this week (that’s March’s goal). However, I know that sticking to one goal per month is crucial. Staring a second goal before the first one is achieved — and failing — would undermine the whole process. Slow and steady wins the race.
