What Step Have I Taken?

Every day, at the end of your day while you're in bed, ask yourself what you did that day to advance yourself in a goal. It does not have to be the same goal each day, just so long as it is a goal that you find worthwhile.

Upon answering that question, you will be able to determine whether or not you should consider the day a waste. If you have successfully played your game that day, then you can sleep happy in the knowledge that you're an active player and have made progress that day. If you have not, then you can enter into a stage of introspection where you can try to think of something that seems worth pursuing to you or think of what keeps you from playing your chosen game.
