In aviation, there's a principle known as the 1 in 60 rule. This rule states that for every 60 miles flown, a 1-degree heading error will cause a plane to miss its target by 1 mile.
Similarly, it's challenging to know if you're on the right track in life without assessing your progress and making necessary adjustments.
The Importance of Course Corrections
There’s a direct correlation between this concept and the trajectory of our lives. As Sahil Bloom puts it:
"Tiny deviations from the optimal course are amplified by distance and time. A small miss now creates a very large miss later. This highlights the need for real-time course corrections and adjustments. We need a simple ritual to assess our course and make any necessary adjustments."

This is why adding weekly and monthly reviews to your life is crucial.
However, it's challenging to build and maintain these check-in habits without a system. If you're like me, you've bought productivity tools and planners that rarely fit your exact needs and workflow.
Whenever I’ve used a physical planner or notebook, I run into the following issues:
Trying to remember to log my activities every week or month was a hassle
Notebooks are cumbersome to carry all the time
It's hard to get an accurate "bird's eye view" in a notebook
It takes more time to write things out, and I end up not prioritizing this habit I want to build
Too much friction.
This is why I’m sharing a simple system that’s been key in helping me hit my goals.
