Starting again after missed days
A missed day gives information about feasibility. It need not erase previous observations.
Return to the same small action on the next possible day. Record honestly rather than backfilling.
Open my labWhat to notice
Look for recurring barriers such as timing, effort or access.
Record a 1–10 daily rating and whether you tried the activity. A missed day is useful context; it does not erase the rest of your week. At the first checkpoint, you can continue for seven or fourteen days, or choose something else.
How to interpret your result
Seven calendar days with very few records may need another round before any interpretation.
Keep your original prediction separate from the daily ratings. Your starting rating, number of observations and changing circumstances all matter. A personal week can reveal a pattern worth exploring, but it cannot establish cause or statistical significance.
Evidence and context
