Whatever you refuse to track is usually the thing you’re getting away with.

Resistance to counting something is rarely about the counting. It is about what the number would make undeniable, and the mind is good at protecting exactly the area where the truth would require a change. The categories you leave vague tend to be the ones doing the most quiet damage.

Pick the thing you least want to write down. Money, hours, reps, whatever it is. Track it for one week and change nothing at all, because the point is a clear picture rather than a crackdown. Most people find the number is not as bad as feared and not as good as claimed.
