I read a great article today about Jerry Seinfeld and goal setting. The full article is here - http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret The point of the article is that if there is something you want to do habitually, mark an X on a calendar for a visual reminder. As humans, we simply don't want to break the chain. So, we keep making those Xs.
I have found this to be true.
1 - I loved adding another day onto my McDonalds goal.
2 - Using My Fitness Pal. You know when MFP tells you that you have tracked 30 days in a row, it is very exciting.
So, today I started a calendar to exercise EVERY day. Even if it is only for 5 minutes, I will do something everyday that is exercise, not just natural activity. If I am sick or on vacation, I can mark a S or V on the calendar. But, I am only allowing 3 weeks for S or V.
