Fictional example: Noah wants to stop viewing during work hours and review the goal later.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. A goal may involve reducing use, changing context, or abstaining if freely chosen.
Before looking back
Choose one ordinary attempt or decide to review the fictional example instead. This journal has no scores, required disclosure, or expectation of progress.
Revisit the practice
Define a specific voluntary goal, why it matters, and how to evaluate fit without moral scoring.
Notice context and impact
Record what actually happened, including an unhelpful or neutral outcome. Note resources, power differences, accessibility, and changed conditions rather than attributing everything to personal effort.
Choose a revision
What would make this goal yours rather than imposed? Keep the approach, change one part, ask for support, or set it aside. A mismatch is useful information.
