Planning is helpful but proof changes everything.

Today I realized something big: I’ve been putting all my exercise plans into Google Calendar and assuming that was enough. It worked beautifully when I only had two workouts to remember, literally two things to track. I would open my calendar, see the workout, tap the link, and do the thing. Super simple. No friction. No thinking. Just show up and complete it.

But now that I’ve expanded into multiple kinds of movement: fascia work, bouncing, strength tools, and more, I’m losing track of what I’ve actually done. And that’s where everything started to get more confusing. The more I added, the more I realized I needed something more than just a reminder system.

And honestly? It’s messing with my head a little. I’ll look back and think:

Did I do that yesterday… or did I just plan to do it yesterday?

And because I don’t have proof, my brain automatically assumes the worst: that I didn’t do anything. Even when I did.

If you’re wired like I am, you know how dangerous that mental loop can be. You end up discounting your own effort. You assume you’re behind. You forget that progress is happening quietly in the background.
