I have a calendar where I write appointments.
I have a doctor’s appointment that I had to write on the calendar.
I have a physical whiteboard where I write a “to do” list.
A couple days ago, I wrote on my whiteboard: “put doctor’s appointment on the calendar”.
Today I put the doctor’s appointment on the calendar.
I have not yet erased “put doctor’s appointment on the calendar” from the whiteboard. I look at it and feel a little proud that I accomplished something today.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll erase my whiteboard.
Yeah! I used that strategy when I started working out a couple years ago.
