I appreciate what you've said here...I am so list oriented! There's nothing like crossing off my accomplishments, big or small. Im working on being OK when I'm not productive, too. I discovered that my self worth should not be tied to how much I got done. Still, it's a hard feeling to get over when you've spent a lifetime trying to accomplish success on the job, or even in the gym! :)
I hear you Susan. It’s a balancing act for me. I love tracking and data. It was my career before I retired. But more importantly, I want to be fit so I can keep hiking, maybe not mountains but gentle trails in the English countryside make my heart sing.
I am fortunate my daughter is now London based so we try to get over most years from Oz. I am 6th generation Aussie from first fleet convict stock - but I still can't go back and live there easily.
Wow, you have an impressive 'track' record with tracking! I love my FitBit, just for tracking my steps. It definitely encourages me to hit my target each day and I have found myself marching around the house if I haven't reached it. I love that you walk the airplane aisles!
Robyn, I love creating habits. Then I know what I expect of myself and I don't feel the day is complete until I've taken care of the habit. I'm currently working on my eating and exercise habits. It's amazing how quickly they become ingrained.
I love that idea Susan ‘what I expect of myself’. It is about crafting the person we want to be. And yes, my day is not complete without ticking off habits.

Beautiful. Someday, I'll get to England... I traced my ancestors to Nottinghamshire! Genealogy has been time consuming but great fun! 👍

Thanks for the shoutout! I track but I’ve also leaned to forgive myself and start again when I miss a day. The starting again is the hard part!
I know what you mean Cindy. Some of my tracked habits are non-negotiable but some are 'miss a day here and there is OK'

Robin I look forward to catching up with you again at our creative writing class this week …… and hope we make a habit of it.
Thanks Neville. See you Tuesday.
