Practical exercise
Log seven days, spot the recurring pattern
Pattern recognition is what separates a junior thinker from a senior one. You will pick one thing in your life, log it for seven days in a single line each day, and then look back to find the pattern you could not see while you were inside it. The data takes ten minutes a day; the insight comes only at the end.

Log seven days, spot the recurring pattern
Stretch
After two consecutive trackers on the same thing, switch to a new thing for the next two weeks. After three months you will have six patterns and six small changes that are all yours, not borrowed from any self help book.
