Testing Your Routine

Design is theory. Testing is reality. Time to test your routine.

The Test Period

Follow your written routine for 5-7 days. do what you planned.

During this period, note:

• What did you do each day?
• What got skipped?
• What was harder than expected?
• What needs adjustment?

Expect Imperfection

Your first draft won’t be perfect. No one designs the ideal routine on the first try. The test period reveals what needs adjustment.

Common discoveries:

Timing was wrong: “Morning light at 6am doesn’t work when I wake at 7”

Sequence was wrong: “I should do Attention Process before not after shower”

Too much: “There’s no way I can do all this in 20 minutes”

Too little: “This is working - I could add one thing”

Wrong practice for this time: “Confront Process in the morning leaves me spacey”

Adjustments aren’t failures. They’re refinements. The goal is a routine that works in your actual life, not a theoretical ideal.

Today’s Practice

Begin the test period. Follow your designed routine today.

At end of day, note:

• What happened?
• What worked?
• What didn’t work?
• What needs adjustment?

Continue for 5-7 days before making final adjustments.
