Over the next 90 days…

  • Acknowledge Benchmarks – record in journal where you are now in that area, include the date and any other important numbers like weight or time spent on the task or money spent
  • Celebrate Milestones – record in journal progress you made at specific intervals (e.g., 1 day or 1 week or 1 month from the benchmark date)
