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.
