The part nobody talks about: noticing what's already working

Most goal-setting advice is about imagining harder. Visualizing. Believing.

Cool. But I kept forgetting what I'd already written. And I had no way to know if my approach was actually working or if I was just busy.

So I built something simple. Write it down. Track when it happens. Look for patterns.

Not about thinking positive. Just about paying attention.

What's your system for knowing what's actually working vs. what just feels productive?
