What I did Today, What I'll do tommorow

I'm really excited about what I got done today.  I summarized all the science on habits into one well organized and easy to understand outline.  I don't think there's anything like the outline I just did easily available anywhere.  It represents an organized and structured view of both Behavioristic and Cognitive-Behavioral models, gives the components of each, and links them to practical applications.  That's 1/3 of what I currently imagine the product to be (or the outline for 1/3 of the product at least).

The next third I'll have to do tommorow:

Outlining "the System", a step by step approach, with resources and worksheets, that will take the person step by step all the way from figuring out what behavior they want to stop or start, to maintaining it, to a recovery plan if by chance they begin to slip.  There will never be a point in which they have to take a "leap" or use their "willpower", it will be structured to create a smooth transition.  Of course, then I'll have to test it with people (I already have some ideas how to do this and get some great video footage for the product), and work out the kinks.

There are two other things on my todo list tommorow as well.  One, getting my magic show set up and practiced, I'm going to apply the Pareto and Parkinson's Principle to:

Clean out the magic show case (15 minutes)

Choose three to four time consuming tricks (15 minutes)

Create a coherent routine linking them all together (30 minutes)

Practice Twice (1 hour)

Be ready for a magic show in two hours.  Previously unheard of... but applying some neat time management tools, very possible :).

Next, I have to clean up the kitchen... some things just can't be helped :).

I should batch it, but it's not my call when I do it, it's my parent's.

Today I wasn't as focused as I would have liked to be.  I also broke my media fast near the end of the day to check out facebook, look at some blogs, and watch a few youtube vids.

It was a nice detour.  Tommorow, I am back on track.

Peace and love,

Matt
