Habit Series : What We Notice Shapes What We do

After years of using the same day planner, I got a new one for Christmas. One feature that really stood out was the weekly habit tracker. I love the visual reminder of how consistent I can be, especially for the New Year goals I want to accomplish. But over the years,...
