One of my favorite moments as an Organizer was when my client exclaimed, “The little things ARE the big things!” This was as she realized we had spend much of our office organizing time that day clearing off the top of her bedroom dresser.

Given that when printing my set of 2019 workout calendars I realized I was a solid year into a new tracking habit, I thought it was a good time to share again how I use these simple pages. Last January Nic and I started posting the current month’s blank calendar on the fridge to track how often we were working out.

The one sentiment I hear from clients more than any other is “I should be able to do to this on my own, but for some reason I don’t.  If you weren’t here, this would never get done, and with you it’s so much more fun!”  

I’ve experimented quite successfully with habit tracker apps in the past such as Good Habits, then drifted away from them either because I just couldn’t get on board (lights out by 11pm) or the habit became so ingrained that I no longer needed to track it (meditation). As of January 1st, I seem to be making good use of an old fashioned paper calendar to track workouts.

Thanks, Duke. When I saw this quote in Tim Ferriss’ newsletter recently, I silently screamed, “AMEN!”
