The magic of Habitcal

Post by eljay » Mon Apr 21, 2008 2:34 pm

From Karen Pryor's Don't Shoot the Dog, written about 20 years ago...

"One finding shows, for example, that if you make a chart to keep track of your progress in some self-training program, you will be more likely to maintain new habits if you solidly fill in a little square every day on the chart, rather than just putting a check mark in the square. This absorption with detail has valid psychological purposes, but one does not often find much good training in it."

In the case of Habitcal, "one does." :wink:

Just another example of reinventing old ideas. Thanks for the info.
