A self-discipline workbook needs more than streak boxes. Practice choosing a feasible commitment, arranging a cue, handling an interruption, and reviewing whether the system deserves to continue.

A worked situation: One language exercise

Fictional example. A reader tries a short language exercise after lunch. A missed day reveals that meetings sometimes replace lunch, so the second practice session tests an alternative cue rather than imposing a penalty.

Four sessions with separate evidence

Session 1: define the commitment and a useful minimum. Session 2: choose the cue and make the needed input available. Session 3: plan an interruption and the restart step. Session 4: review a real attempt, including any reason the arrangement needs revision. Completing the workbook means producing these four decisions, not recording a perfect streak or ignoring circumstances that require rest.
