How

01

Start one place: Create a single spot - a notebook or phone note titled Done Today. Only add items after you finish them.

02

Write short, honest lines: include “invisible” work (helped someone, made a decision, set up a system, kept a promise, rested when needed). Add a quick tag if you like: helped / learned / moved forward.

03

Do a weekly snapshot: pick one tiny, one effortful, and one that helped someone. That’s your 3-line pride for the week.

Easy Start

Write one thing you finished today + (who it helped / how it moved something forward).

Why It Matters

We remember what’s pending and forget what we’ve done. Seeing completions - especially the invisible ones - builds calm pride and steadies motivation.

Questions and Thoughts

  1. “Feels like bragging.” → Keep it private; write plainly.
  2. “Some days I did ‘nothing’.” → Count maintenance and care: showed up, followed through, protected rest.
  3. “I’ll forget.” → Tie it to a cue (shutdown, commute home, brushing teeth).
  4. “It becomes pressure.” → No numbers or targets; one line is enough.

Care Notes

Avoid sensitive details; focus on your action, not others’ names. If daily feels heavy, switch to weekly with 3–5 bullets.
