A loved one is losing weight.
She checks her weight
every day.
The trend is definitely down.
Most days, her weight decreases.
But on the rare days
it increases ever-so-slightly,
she loses all motivation
and is tempted
to give up.
I advised
that she check her weight
once a week,
instead of daily.
THAT number has always
been lower week after week.
She’ll stay motivated
and happy about her progress.
WHEN we check the results
can be key
to our project’s success.
If we only see progress
after a month,
check the results
after a month.
Time it correctly.
