Your résumé records what you did. Keep another naming who helped.
Add the manager who gave you a stretch assignment, the colleague who vouched for you, the friend who pushed you to apply.
When something goes well, send one person on that list a specific thank-you.
Most habits don't die on a bad day. They die the day after.
Three rules that keep one alive. Why habits take about 66 days is in the first reply.

A failed interview can map what breaks under pressure.
Write down the questions that exposed a gap. Practice those gaps in small projects, ask when you can reapply, and put that date on your calendar.
Rejection is a result, not a lifetime ban.
Before you change course, your mind lists every way it could go wrong.
The pay cut. The awkward explaining at dinner. Being the oldest person in the room. Finding out you're not that good at the new thing yet.
Most of that list never shows up.

A small part does. When it does, it's usually smaller and more fixable than the version you rehearsed at 2 a.m.
You don't have to wait for the fear to go quiet. Pick the one worry most likely to come true, and plan for that one.
If deleting one distracting app sends you to another, the app wasn't the whole problem.
Plan for the moment you want to escape a task: put the phone out of reach, take a timed five-minute break, then return to one visible next step. Change the response, not just the icon.
You have an idea. Start the consulting business. Go back to school. Get back in shape for real.
Then the committee in your head meets.
"Too late now."
"What will people think?"
"Wait until things calm down."
Idea shelved.

A few months later, a friend does the exact same thing. Now the committee thinks it was a great idea all along.
That committee isn't a verdict. It's a reflex that votes no first. Next time it meets, ask what you'd tell a friend who brought you the same idea.
Other weeks you plan all of it: the new routine, the budget, the early walk. Then Monday arrives and nothing moves.
Both feel productive. Neither gets far on its own.
