Every evening, before bed, answer five questions. Yes or no. Two minutes with a pen. The scoreboard does not judge your day, it shows you your day.
| # | The line | What counts |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Did I keep my limits? | The three from Draw the Line. All of them. |
| 2 | Did I move my body? | A walk counts. The gym counts more. Zero does not count. |
| 3 | Did I show up for my kids in some form? | Presence, a call, a letter, a game move, a note in the lunchbox. Some form beats no form. |
| 4 | Did I touch one pillar? | Vault, Temple, Kingdom, or Chalice. One deliberate move on one front. |
| 5 | Did I help one dad? | A comment, a like that lifts a post, a DM. Give dads some love. |
Write the date as you go. Mark a check for yes, an X for no. Real marks only. An honest X is worth more than a fake check.

Streaks matter because they compound. Grace matters because you are a man, not a machine. A missed day is data, not a verdict: mark it, find the cause, score again tomorrow night. The only failed scoreboard is the one you stop filling out.
