Weekly essentials
Track only as much as feels kind. Some habits do best when no one is keeping score.

Monthly check
Spread the practice across the day rather than piling it into one long block. Spreads survive busy weeks.

Yearly reset
Start with what feels easy. If a step feels heavy, it is usually a sign to make it smaller, not to push through.
Choose the friendlier option more often than the perfect one. The friendlier option keeps showing up.
Come back to this whenever you want a gentle reset. There is no scorecard.
