I’ve started plenty of elaborate logs that lasted about four days, so this is the first tracking habit that has stuck past a month. I keep a small dry-erase board on the bathroom mirror with two columns: 'body cues' and 'energy after meals.' Each night I write no more than four words per side, and I add a little dash if I forgot.
That dash has been weirdly useful because after five weeks I could see I abandon trackers when I try to capture everything. The board stays because it’s right in front of me but not on my phone, and it takes maybe twenty seconds.
Gentle follow-up for anyone who tracks body signals: how do you keep your note short enough that it doesn’t turn into another chore?
