Here's something I've found useful:
Buy a pretty little notebook - or buy a plain notebook and dress it up with wrapping paper, wall paper, or fabric - just make it look beautiful. Also do the same to a box.
In your notebook, make a big heading for the month, and dedicate a page each to five things you want to work on that month (make sure they're manageable for you), and record your progress / thoughts / comments beside each. Make sure you update your notebook every night, and use the box to store things you pick up along the way that inspire you.
For example:
OCTOBER 2021
PS: I'm not familiar with any prior discussion around this topic, so please forgive me if I have gone completely astray!

Goal | Progress |
Take up yoga | 1/10: Picked up a brochure from the supermarket (placed in box); will give them a call next week to enquire about class times and cost. |
Start each morning with a walk | 1/10: Couldn't go today as I was running late for work, but will hope to start tomorrow. |
Learn to meditate | 1/10: Looked up some YouTube tutorials. It looks hard. Will join a forum and ask how to get started. |
Time for me | 1/10: Spoke to the family about 'me time' for an hour an evening; they've all promised to leave me alone between 7-8pm. Start tonight. |
Starting saying 'no' | 1/10: Was asked to work overtime this weekend (fourth weekend in a row). Said I can't. Didn't offer an excuse, just said I can't. |
