STEP 1: EVALUATE WITH YOUR ACTION PARTNER (5 MINUTES)

Take a few minutes to think about how you did with your commitments last week. Draw a circle around the color that represents how you felt you did with each commitment. For example, the red circle means you gave very little effort, the yellow circle represents some effort, and the green circle is for significant effort. Share your evaluation with your action partner.

🔴 Very little effort · 🟡 Some effort · 🟢 Significant effort
