I've done this with computer science, cycling, and am currently doing it with learning Spanish and the most important thing I've learned is to be proud of the empty squares. The empty squares are a visual reminder listening to yourself, to your body, and realizing you are going to make negative progress in terms of morale or burnout by pushing for the square that day. The simple act of giving yourself permission to not fill the square also seems to mean less unfilled squares for me. By checking in, something clicks that reminds me that this IS a goal I want to achieve and that you want to buy in for another day.
