A one-page daily record for tracking what you committed
to, what happened, and what to carry forward.

Making Accountability Concrete

Accountability between sessions works best when it's structured. "Did you do the thing?" is a useful coaching question - but clients who arrive with a written daily record of what happened and why return to sessions with far more useful material. The record doesn't require perfect days to be valuable. Days where the committed action didn't happen, honestly documented, often carry more coaching information than the days it did.

The one entry that gets skipped most often is field 3: "If not, what got in the way?" Clients treat it as an admission rather than data. The obstacles that recur across multiple days are the ones worth examining in session. A single missed day is noise; a pattern of the same obstacle appearing across five days is signal.

Complete this record at the same time each day - end of workday or before sleep. The 0-10 rating scale is a quick calibration; the open-response fields are where the value lives. Keep completed records. Patterns across 5-7 days are more actionable than any single entry.

How to Use This Worksheet

  1. Circle today's day at the top of the tool page.
  2. Answer field 1 first, before anything else: did you complete your committed action toward your goal?
  3. If yes, complete field 2. Be specific - "I blocked time and did it" is less useful than noting what conditions made it possible.
  4. If no, complete field 3. Describe the obstacle plainly. Avoid self-assessment ("I was lazy") - describe what actually happened.
  5. Rate the day on the 0-10 scale, then complete fields 5, 6, and 7. Keep completed records - patterns across multiple days are more actionable than any single entry.
