For example, she records everything she has learned, done, read, or accomplished each month. Check out Amelia’s insightful lessons in the video below.

Great presentation!
What types of “meta” habits did you notice yourself acquiring?
For example, you’re mention 5 (good) tips — but once you’re doing those, do you notice anything structural in how you do them? Take physical reminders: are there any patterns in how you place the reminders, or how often you make them, or how you behave around the reminders (touching them, “talking” to them, etc..)? The same applies to the other 5 tips or other tracking behavior (tracking, looking at progress, the size of what you track).
Thanks!
