An Eight-Week Guided Journal

You have come further than you give yourself credit for.

It is easy to see what is still undone and hard to see what has already changed. The Ground I Have Already Covered is an eight-week guided journal for looking back at how things were, comparing them with how they are, and letting the difference count.

Each day has a short page. You write then and now: once for how something used to be, once for how it is. You record the proof, one specific thing from today. Then you mark the distance between the two, from 1 to 5, or note that you are not sure. Over eight weeks, the evidence builds up on the page.

Who it is for, and what you get

You finish with: Eight weeks of specific proof of how far you have come, in your own words.

This journal is for you if…

You measure yourself against what is left to do, and rarely against where you started
You want evidence, not encouragement
You would like a short daily practice that looks backwards on purpose

What you will find inside

Then and now, written side by side each day
The proof: one specific thing from today
The distance, marked from 1 to 5, or not sure

Then

Dreaded phone calls.

Now

I make them, and I do not rehearse for an hour first.

The proof

I rang the dentist this morning.

The distance

3. Further than last year.

Questions before you buy

How long does each day take?

A few minutes. Every journal uses a simple, structured daily format that walks you through exactly what to fill in, so you do not need to know what to write or how to start.

What if I miss a day, or fall behind?

The journals are built in short, self-contained cycles, so missing a day does not derail the rest. You pick back up at the next cycle, not from the beginning. I Missed a Day. Now What? is a short read for exactly that moment.

Do I need any journalling experience?

No. Nothing here asks you to write well. One honest line is enough.

Can I try it before I buy it?

Yes. Look through the pages above, or download the free preview (PDF): the front matter plus the first pages, so you can see exactly how it works.

Which format will I get, and where do I buy it?

The paperback is printed to order. Other formats, such as ebook or hardcover, vary by title, so check the Amazon listing.

What if there is a problem with my order?

Every journal is sold and shipped through Amazon, so returns and refunds are handled by them under their own policies. Your order confirmation explains the process.
