Why this exists: the streak is the practice (11-beginner-path.md — "the streak is the practice; everything else is depth"). This is the one page you open every day. It tracks the two anchors plus the non-negotiables, runs the weekly review, and points to the monthly measurement.

The streak rules:

  • Counted on: the anchors (Coué at waking, Neville SATS at night) and the non-negotiables (yoga + meditation). Those are the 100% items.
  • Tiers are not streak material. Training, Haanel, Dispenza, Lipton are depth — they have their own softer target (see below).
  • A missed day does not end the streak if you do the two anchors that night (06 note + 11 Stage 0). Repeated misses mean you're over-staged — drop a tier, don't add.

Weekly grid (one row per day, tick what you kept)

Day Coué Neville Yoga Medit. Haanel/lead Training Trading journal Notes
Mon ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Tue ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Wed ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Thu ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Fri ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Sat ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ (cycling)
Sun ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ — ☐

Targets: anchors + yoga + meditation = 7/7. Training + Haanel/lead ≈ 5–6/7. Trading journal = every trading day.

Streak counters

Coué streak:           ____ days   (longest: ____)

Weekly review (Sunday, ~20 min — use the list from 09)

  1. Anchors kept — Coué / Neville (both should be 7/7)
  2. Yoga + meditation kept (7/7) — if not, why, and what protects it next week
  3. Training + Haanel/lead (5–6/7) — did the week flex intentionally or drift?
  4. Trading journal — entries each trading day, rule compliance (risk ≤1%, loss limits) — 06 Step 3
  5. Savings number — current balance, this week's delta — 06 Step 7
  6. If it's the last week of the month: run the monthly re-test in 10-measurement.md and the monthly reflection there
  7. Next week's plan — which domain is live, which day flexes to Tier 3, move the calendar

Monthly (last day of the month)

Go to 10-measurement.md: re-test all measures, fill the monthly column, do the reflection. Update the streak counters here. Set next month's one practice change + one plan change.

Troubleshooting trigger (from 11 and the playbooks)

If you notice… Do
Anchors slipping to 5/7 or below You're over-staged — drop to Tier 1 for a week, rebuild
The Coué chant feeling forced You're "trying to mean it" — go flatter, more mechanical (04)
The Neville scene feeling stale-but-working Keep it — stale but sinking is the goal; redesign only if it implies the wrong end (02)
Training drifting Drop a training day, don't drop the anchors — the streak is the backbone
"I feel nothing after 2 weeks" That's normal — check 10 for the internal measures, not the external ones
The old program flaring up Good sign — 03: name it "old program", don't fight it
