Step 1: Evaluate with Action Partner (5 minutes)

Take a few minutes to evaluate your efforts to keep your commitments this week. Use the "Evaluating My Efforts" chart at the beginning of this workbook. Share your evaluation with your partner and discuss the question below.

Discuss: What challenges did you have with keeping your commitments this week?

✏️ (Due to the constraints of this format, please use a separate page or app to complete this evaluation exercise.)

Step 2: Report to the Group (8 minutes)

After evaluating your efforts, come back together and report your results. Go around the group and each state whether you rated yourself "red," "yellow," or "green" for each of last week's commitments.
