I also asked her to write down each time she was going to miss a session – just a short sentence to say why she wasn’t going to do it. This isn’t a retrospective to be done at the end of the day, it’s about writing down, there and then, what it is you are about to do that can’t wait ten minutes. Clare found this second exercise particularly useful. In fact, she said that any time she went to write an excuse in the book, it just looked so feeble that she went and did her ten minutes anyway.
