Underrated hack for tracking progress and not being hard on yourself during early stages is to have a “demo day” where you track what your baseline is without intentional modifications to improve. For example, say someone is trying to decrease their screen time. They give themself a screen time limit (2-3 hours usually) and try to abide by it. Sometimes they’re good about it, other times they fall off. They’re really hard on themself when they fall off track. However, what’s not in perspective for them is the fact that they started with like a 9 hour screen time. Even the fact that on some days they’re succeeding is huge. You need to have a “tangible” view of your baseline to compare your improvement to. That way you’re way less hard on yourself. Don’t skip the demo day
