The 3-3-3 Reset: A Simple Way to See Your Own Progress

Good morning, Happy Monday!

A new week is here, bringing fresh plans and responsibilities. But before you get started, take a moment to check in with yourself. What if you’ve made more progress in your life, your habits, or your goals than you’ve noticed?

Progress isn’t always easy to measure. Some changes are obvious, but others happen so gradually that they’re easy to miss. That’s where the 3-3-3 Reset comes in. It’s a simple way to step back and get a clearer view of where you’ve made progress and what still needs attention.

Keep reading to try it for yourself.

The 3-3-3 Reset: A Simple Way to See Your Own Progress

Some things are easy to track, like miles run, pages read, or tasks checked off. But not everything comes with a progress bar. Many of the things that matter most happen quietly, in the background of daily life. That doesn’t mean nothing is happening. It just means you might need a better way to see it.

The 3-3-3 Reset is a simple way to make your progress visible.

How It Works

When progress feels invisible, write down:

  • Three things you’ve learned

  • Three things you’ve improved

  • Three things you’re still working on

It’s simple, but the impact is bigger than it seems.

Why This Works

Our brains tend to focus more on problems than progress. It’s easier to notice what still needs fixing than to appreciate how far we’ve come. That’s why it can feel like nothing is changing, even when it is.

Writing down what you’ve already learned and improved shifts your focus. Instead of measuring success by what’s left to accomplish, you start seeing the steps you’ve already taken.

What Progress Really Looks Like

Maybe a year ago, you struggled to set boundaries. Maybe now you handle stress differently. Maybe you’ve started showing up for yourself in ways you never used to. These aren’t just small changes. They’re signs of real progress.

And for the things you’re still working on? That’s not failure. That’s proof that you are in motion.

The Power of Tracking Small Wins

Research shows that recognizing small wins builds momentum. Even minor progress can increase motivation and confidence, making it easier to keep going. Taking a moment to reflect can be the difference between feeling stuck and realizing just how much has changed.

Try It Today

Next time it feels like you aren’t getting anywhere, pause. Write down your 3-3-3 list. Your progress is there. You just have to look for it.
