Three runners train for a marathon. One tracks every run, another logs weekly, and the last runs blind. Research predicts who’ll cross the finish line.
A groundbreaking weight loss study revealed the magic ratio: track 30% of days, lose 3% weight. Track 40% of the days, lose 5%, and track 70% of days, lose 10%. The pattern is clear – attention drives achievement.
