I keep our daily “selfies” to 3 easy to answer questions. “What was your favorite part today”, “What was your bad part today” and “What did you learn today”. My kids look forward to their “selfies” every night as part of the tack-in.

To be honest looking at past accomplishments to deal with present downfall would just depress me even more.

That’s exactly the idea behind Selfism. Except the magic number is 66, since that’s the average time it takes to develop or drop a habit.

That explains why the “habit building” apps that let you skip and pause daily habit development are so popular.

Absolutely right! The additional benefit of breaking things down to today is that it eliminates procrastination, which is very common when faced with longer timelines.
