Recording Notes
Twice a week: record a 2-minute talk, listen once, write what I notice, and record again.
Words per minute: count the words in 1 minute of the recording (or use a transcript app). A calm, clear pace for most people is about 120–150 words per minute.
Topic ideas

- A goal you're working on, and why it matters.

Patterns I keep noticing
After a few weeks, write the mistakes or habits that repeat. These are my focus areas.
