The Reset Journal
A 12-week evidence log for changing one thing. Start from last year's record, set a floor small enough for your worst day, and score one thing each day: how automatic it felt.
How it works
- The Year Audit. Last year read from the calendar, the bank statement and the photos, with eight areas scored against the evidence.
- The Reset Contract. One change, a floor, a ceiling and a written if-then, signed before Day 1.
- 84 day logs. Under two minutes each: what you did, whether the cue happened, what got in the way, and an automaticity score from 1 to 5.
- Six checkpoints. Every fourteen days, a fixed rule: shrink the floor, keep it, or raise it one notch.
- The Reset Line and the Verdict. Twelve weeks on one page, and a habit test you set before you start.
Why twelve weeks
In a study at University College London (Lally and colleagues, 2010), new daily behaviours took a median of 66 days to become automatic, with a range from 18 to 254, and missing a single day did not materially affect the result. Twelve weeks gives an ordinary change room, and the journal counts days kept, never streaks.
