Perform, close the day with ARC, and tomorrow

In this module you will

• Write the close-of-day note.
• Carry every open A action into tomorrow and name tomorrow’s frog.

The idea

The sheet’s Notes field is “written at the close of the day: what actually happened, what was interrupted, and what you would place differently tomorrow.” The original course’s rule: “One page, one day, filled the night before or during the morning launch — never at 10 a.m.”

In step 8 (Perform), the day’s actions sit in one list to tick as they are done, with the same quick-add line for anything that arrives. Compass interpretation: close the day as a small ARC™ loop. Analyze what happened against the frog and the three, Refine one placement or habit, and Commit tomorrow’s frog. The original site tracks three measures on a 21-day practice record: morning launch, habit execution and tool submitted.

Step by step

1. Why Interruptions repeat until they are named.

   Write the close-of-day note.

2. Why An open A action is tomorrow’s first decision.

   Choose “Close the day and start tomorrow”: open A actions and your habit carry forward, and tomorrow opens at step 3, its frog and its three.

Exercise

1. Write the note.
2. List the open A actions and tomorrow’s frog.
3. Mark the day on your 21-day record.
