Ugh, it's so frustrating! I always have so many things I want to do, and instead the siren song of the nap wins out. (Or just going to bed, ha.) Appreciate it! So far the week hasn't been terrible, though the naps are still calling to me.

And thanks! I had a ton of failed tracking attempts before this, where same, a few weeks or a month or two in I'd just set it down and never come back.

I'm not sure why I managed to stick with it so successfully this time, compared to the previous times. Part of it is definitely the longer-term stuff that I keep track of, like the books I read or how much writing I do, because it's useful for me to come back to. And like you said, the longer-term trends in things is nice to see, too: especially when I'm having a rough go of it, it's nice to be able to see that I didn't actually *always* feel that way, haha. It also helped to make it a positive thing (since some previous attempts were almost more of an attempt into guilting myself into doing things, which meant I felt bad every time I used it, and so I didn't like keeping up with it.) Otherwise, I've just tried my best to integrate it into a routine that I try very hard not to break. (Unfortunately, the instant I break a habit, it might as well have never existed in the first place, haha.)
