The 7-Day Body Check-In
You tracked screens. You tracked feelings. Now let’s track how your body’s actually doing. Not judgment — data.
⏱ 2 min morning + 2 min evening × 7 days
You tracked screens. You tracked feelings. Now let’s track how your body’s actually doing. Not judgment — data.
⏱ 2 min morning + 2 min evening × 7 days
Kit walked you through this in the book. One week of paying attention. Two tiny check-ins per day. At the end you’ll see patterns that were there all along.
Morning: log how you slept and how you feel. Evening: log food, movement, and screen-off time. Seven days. Then look for the patterns.
| Day | Morning | Evening | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bedtime | Wake | Mood 1–5 | Food | Movement | Screens off at | |
| Mon | ||||||
| Tue | ||||||
| Wed | ||||||
| Thu | ||||||
| Fri | ||||||
| Sat | ||||||
| Sun | ||||||
Not five things. One. Pick the smallest change that feels doable.
Kit’s bonus twist: Run another 7-day check-in after you’ve had a week with your one adjustment. Compare the two weeks side by side. That before/after is your proof — in your own handwriting — that small changes actually work.
“Most people find the sleep connection first — the nights with the most sleep line up with the mornings that feel the best. That’s not a coincidence. It’s cause and effect. And once you see it in your own data, it’s hard to ignore.”
