A nightly routine of writing down every action, marking bad habits in red and good ones in green, then grading the day. The speaker has never scored higher than a B+. This tracking system reveals patterns most people miss because they only measure money, not behavior.
I would sit down at the end of the day and just think about everything I did that day from like to the minor detail. What time did I get up? Did I drink water? Did I drink coffee? Did I go to the bathroom? When did I get out the door? You know, what texts did I make? While you're doing that, you're kind of like getting all those, those things off your mind that are causing you like a little bit of anxiety. I'll specifically write down impulsive behaviors like scrolled on my phone, you know, drank another cup of coffee when I didn't want to, ate a piece of chocolate cake when I wasn't supposed to in red. And then in green, I'll write my good things. Like I went for a run or I meditated or I spent time with my family or I called my grandpa. And then at the end, At the end of the whole thing, I'll give myself a score from A+ to an F, and I've never gotten above a B+. Even if I'm trying, I still don't stick to every promise. There will be a time where I get sucked onto my phone, or I'll do something that I wasn't gonna do. I've never had a perfect day as my goal. When I get it out on paper, I see it and I have a reference point for the next day. It like resets. I got tomorrow, I can get back to it. I think people go through their whole lives without taking account for the things they're doing, which is why they can't measure their progress, right? Because they can only measure the dollars.
