How Yourself is measured
Four of the twenty statements. Score each from 0 to 5 for how true it has been over the last two weeks.
When I wanted to change a behavior, I changed something in my environment rather than relying on willpower.
Ch2, the cue
My daily routine ran on autopilot rather than on daily decisions.
Ch2
When I missed a day of something I was building, I restarted within 24 hours.
Ch3, recovery time

Ch4, step size
The practices
If Yourself is your lowest domain, the full Stride Score gives you one of these to run for ninety days.
- Count the seconds standing in front of one behavior. Move one physical object tonight so the count goes down.
- Write your one-day rule: one sentence, on paper, before you need it, stating what you do the morning after you miss.
- Take your largest current goal and write the fifteen-minute version of its next step.
