Who this is for

Choose a small action that fits your own circumstances. These exercises are general self-improvement guidance, not medical or mental-health treatment.
Your seven lessons
DAY 1 • ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Day 1: Choose your starting point
Lesson: Identify one repeatable action rather than trying to change everything at once.
Today’s exercise: Write one behavior you want to practice. Shrink it until you could complete it in two minutes. For example: put on walking shoes instead of planning a full workout, or read one page instead of promising an hour of reading.
My two-minute action is: ________. I will know I did it when: ________.
DAY 2 • ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Day 2: Make the helpful choice easier
Lesson: Adjust your surroundings so the action requires less preparation.
Today’s exercise: Put the needed object where you will see it. Charge your phone away from your bed if you want a calmer morning; put a book on your pillow if you want to read before sleep. Remove one obstacle to your chosen habit.
One thing I will prepare in advance: ________. One obstacle I will reduce: ________.
DAY 3 • ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Day 3: Attach it to a reliable cue
Lesson: A specific trigger helps you remember what to do.
Today’s exercise: Complete this sentence: ‘After I ________, I will ________ for two minutes.’ Use a daily action that already happens, such as brushing your teeth, making tea or closing your laptop.
My cue: ________. My action: ________. Where it will happen: ________.
DAY 4 • ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Day 4: Track the action, not perfection
Lesson: A simple record gives feedback without turning your habit into a source of pressure.
Today’s exercise: Make a mark each time you complete your two-minute action. If you skip a day, record it neutrally; the aim is noticing patterns, not protecting a streak at any cost.
My tracking method: paper calendar / notes app / another method. What made today’s action easy or difficult?
DAY 5 • ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Day 5: Create a difficult-day version
Lesson: Your habits should survive busy days, travel and low-energy periods.
Today’s exercise: Write a backup action you can do in 30 seconds, such as opening the book to your bookmarked page, preparing tomorrow’s workout clothes or putting a glass of water on your desk.
My normal action: ________. My backup action: ________.
DAY 6 • ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Day 6: Recover without self-criticism
Lesson: An interrupted routine is information, not evidence that you have failed.
Today’s exercise: Look back at your last five days. Identify one trigger that worked, one friction point and one adjustment. Practice your smallest backup action today, even if you feel less motivated.
What got in the way? ________. What will I change next time? ________.
DAY 7 • ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Day 7: Review and design the next two weeks
Lesson: Long-term progress comes from adapting a realistic system.
Today’s exercise: Score how often the action happened, how manageable it felt, and whether it matters to you. Keep the action, simplify it, or replace it with one more useful. Set a reminder to check in after 14 days.
My next 14-day plan: After ________, I will ________. If disrupted, I will ________.
