One of my new year’s resolutions this year is to meditate at least five times per week (71%). I had been using Headspace on and off before, but finally wanted to make meditation a real habit. I usually meditate for 15-20 minutes once I arrive at the office, which explains gaps on weekends and when I’m traveling. So far I’ve meditated 155 times and missed 75 days resulting in a success rate of 67% (4pp below target). The graph above represents the last 225 days.
