Mindful Attention
The part most people fail.
Watch yourself, not the market.
The Core. It isn't checked between monthly dates, because nothing I'd see would change what I do anyway. What I should be watching is the pull I feel to check, sell, or buy more. If a temptation gets as far as a concrete step, like opening my brokerage account or looking up a price, I write it in the temptation log and don't act on it.
Broken when: a temptation got as far as a concrete step and I didn't log it.
Checking counts as a temptation, not a breach. The temptation log is published every month, with whether each temptation became a breach. A temptation logged and resisted is the clearest evidence that the rules are being held rather than simply never tested.
Tested in the ledger
Each month names the principle that got tested and whether it held. Months where it broke are marked in red.
Not yet tested.
