If progress feels invisible, you’ll keep feeling stuck—even when you’re improving. In Episode 10, Grace breaks down the History Log: a lightweight tracking system that gives your business memory. You’ll learn what to log, how to review it after each quarterly reset, and how to spot trends that reveal your real bottleneck—so you stop repeating the same fixes and start compounding improvements. In this episode: • What a History Log is (and isn’t) so it stays simple • The 5 fields to track: what changed, when, why, owner, impact • How to identify patterns and choose one improvement for the next quarter Do this after your next reset: 1) Create a History Log (doc or spreadsheet) with 5 columns: Date/Quarter, System, Change, Owner, Impact 2) Review the last quarter and highlight anything that shows up 2+ times 3) Pick ONE improvement + ONE proof metric (duplicates/week, handoff errors/week, response time) Next: Real-world examples—seeing these systems in action.
