You need a proper system – this is getting complex enough to need organization.
Google Sheets is Better for This Project:
Why Sheets > Doc:
- Daily tracking checkboxes – easy to check off completed tasks
- Weekly calendar view – see your whole week at a glance
- Progress tracking – count completed days, calculate percentages
- Multiple tabs – separate sections without scrolling through everything
- Mobile friendly – check off tasks on your phone throughout the day
Suggested Sheet Structure:
Tab 1: “Daily Essentials”
- 5 daily tasks with checkboxes for each day of the week
- Weekly completion percentage calculation
- Monthly overview to see patterns
Tab 2: “Weekly Calendar”
- Copy the table I gave you earlier – perfect format for sheets
- Completion tracking for each weekly activity
- Notes column for progress observations
Tab 3: “Alone Time Activities”
- List by priority (High/Medium/Low)
- Opportunity tracking – when you got alone time, what you did
- Progress notes – how each activity is going
Tab 4: “Heel Training”
- Daily practice log – minutes worn, exercises done
- Pain/comfort tracking – monitor improvement over time
- Milestone goals – building up to longer wear times
Tab 5: “Overall Progress”
- Monthly reflection – what’s working, what needs adjustment
- Timeline milestones – countdown to Barcelona move
- Wins & challenges – celebrate progress, address problems
Start Simple:
Just create the Daily Essentials and Weekly Calendar tabs first. You can add the others as you get into the routine.
Would you like me to format the weekly calendar table in a way that’s even easier to copy into Sheets?
This will make tracking SO much easier and you’ll actually see your progress building toward your authentic self!
Pro tips for tracking:
- Focus on daily consistency over perfection
- The “Recovery & Care” is crucial – don’t skip it!
- Write down notes column to track what works and what doesn’t
- Celebrate weekly achievements – this is a real skill you’re building
