The problem with looking at what something delivers is that the time between taking the action and noticing what was delivered. There's often days, weeks, or even months (especially in the case of going to the gym) between doing something and seeing a difference.

When taking a new action (or new inaction), you can even feel worse before feeling better.

It's a good idea but the temporal component skews everything.

Habit formation, even if it's a new habit of not doing something, is something that's worked for me in the past.
