Why to Focus on Progress, Not Perfection

Noticing What Matters: How Monthly Attention Boards and Habit Trackers Work

Attention Board is a part of Agenda where each month, you’re prompted to reflect on:

• Things That Made You Smile: Focusing on joy trains your brain to notice positivity (gratitude in action).
• Patterns You Repeat: Self-awareness of habits empowers you to make intentional changes.
• Limiting Beliefs to Let Go Of: Identifying these mental blocks frees you from self-sabotage.
