DAILY INVENTORY 

"When we retire at night, we constructively review our day.  Were we selfish, dishonest or afraid? (The last column of Step 4 process)
"Do we owe an apology?"  (Step 8 list, and Step 9.  We add, "Do we need to make any DIRECT AMENDS?")
"Have we kept something to ourselves which should be discussed with another person at once?"  (Step 5 and SPONSORSHIP)
"Were we kind and loving towards all?"  ("God will show us how to take a kindly and tolerant view of each and every one".  P67)
"What could we have done better"?  (We suggest: EVERYTHING!  Our job is to "grow in understanding and effectiveness." P84)
"Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time?"  ("… we became less and less interested in our little plans and designs."
P63)
"Or were we thinking of what we could DO FOR OTHERS, of what we could PACK INTO the stream of life?"  (moving from "taker" to "giver".)
"But we must be careful not to drift into worry, remorse or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our USEFULNESS TO OTHERS."
"After making our review, we ask God's forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should be taken."
