  • Goal-Setting Workshop Recap

    Thirty-two people joined this quarter's workshop. The exercise that landed best was writing a goal as a scene: a specific moment, six months from now, that would show the goal had been reached.

    Participants then listed the three habits that would make that scene likely, and the one habit they would stop.

  • The Two-Minute Weekly Review

    A weekly review does not need an hour. Two minutes on Friday afternoon is enough to end the week deliberately. We call these questions the Friday Three.

    1. What went well this week?
    2. What did I avoid?
    3. What is the one thing that matters most next week?

    Write the answers somewhere you will see on Monday morning.

  • Building Habits That Stick

    Habits fail when they depend on motivation. They last when they are attached to something you already do and made small enough that skipping them feels silly.

    Anchor, shrink, celebrate

    • Anchor: after I pour my morning coffee, I will…
    • Shrink: write one sentence in my journal, not a page.
    • Celebrate: notice it, even with a quiet yes.

    Grow the habit only after it has run for two weeks without effort. Most people scale up too early and then quit entirely after one bad day.
