We're Even Syndrome

So one of the issues we've run into on this DDD journey is with having some of the same rules, we were tending to let things slide and say we're "even" so neither of us had any consequences. Where that might have been saving our butts, it wasn't doing us any good on making changes around here. So we've instituted a new plan where we write in personal journal and we will be keeping tally marks of the rules etc. that we've broken throughout the week and it will be dealt with when we review each other's journals. Each rule's tally mark will have it's own "value" and will be added up at the end of the week.

I got the idea from some of the members at the SpankSpot forums. I can't remember who it was that posted about doing journals like this but we thought it was a great idea and a great way to stop the "we're even" syndrome and actually get some changes made in our lives. It's caused us both to step up and be more proactive in this journey which is a good thing. You can't make changes unless you're willing to make the effort.
