Grounding

Helps: when a felt sense is likely to shift: writing the before rating down means the after rating is compared with what you actually said, not with a memory that drifts towards how you feel now

Backfires: when the numbers become a target, since rewards tied to a monitored target undermine interest in the activity, and when the visible before rating anchors the after one; whether hiding it helps is untested

• CPeople recall their earlier attitudes, feelings or confidence as closer to their present state than they were, or as fitting their theory of how they must have changed. A written baseline is therefore needed to see real change.Wolfe & Williams (2018), Ross (1989)
• BMonitoring progress towards a goal increases goal attainment, and more so when the progress is physically recorded.Harkin et al. (2016), Michie et al. (2009), Burke, Wang & Sevick (2011)
