Some poker techniques will astonish you with their simplicity. This is 1 of them. Take down your results, every single time you play.
Church of texas hold’em Psalm #4:
Thou must record your wins and thy loses; for it’s the grand total of all a mans accomplishments which generate their basis.
How detailed is up to you. I tend to think that hourly specifics and that style of personal detail is wasted. Basically work out how far in front you are and what amount (if any) you’ve taken out. Naturally, if you lose, record that too, despite how much it hurts.
Do not neglect to note what sort of game you’re betting on, if that is important to you. (In my expertise, most folks stick to what they know and do not try something they do not know. If all you write down is up, down and withdrawals, you are way in front of a majority of players out there!)
Bestow on yourself actual goals, like a ‘dream’ target (new auto, vacation or anything else). When you take out, add the dollars withdrawn to your dream counter. The more successful you are, the closer that goal will be!
