HabitCalc: French test or English test?

kbits · Post by **kbits** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 5:07 am

Back in the day, English tests were scored by correct answers to questions. That is, you start with 0 and gain a maximum of 100%

Conversely, French tests worked in the other direction: start with 100% and then lose points for every wrong answer.

With that in mind, what's your preference for the habitcalc? Do you like to give yourself a green light in the morning then let paranoia get you through the day? ("Canâ€™t let it turn red, can't let it turn red, ...?). Or do you wait till the end of the day to score yourself green/red?

I don't give myself a square until the evening, or the parameters of the activity is completed. I usually exercise in the morning, ferinstance.

I will give myself a green square for No S if I make it to dinner. That's motivation enough to carry me to bedtime.

I do it the next day. Never know what will happen between what will the time I logoff and the time I log back on!

It depends of which of my 3 Habitcals I'm marking. For my No Scale, if I don't step on the scale when I get up & after I go to the bathroom, then I can mark my square green, because I will not step on the scale after that time. If it is my No S Habitcal, then I wait until the end of the day...close to before I go to bed. If it is my MwP (exercise) Habitcal, then I mark the green square after I do it.....sometimes it is in the morning, sometimes it is not until the evening.

I mark it after dinner, then I know I'm done with food for the day.

for No S, sometime after I am done with my last meal and I am confident I have stopped eating for the day
for my PROJECT, when I complete my agreed upon goals for day
for a thing I do call Oxycise, when I am done

that being said, just use them all at the end of the day

Likewise and after the final walk as well.

After dinner for No S and plating by hunger level.
After my walk for that.
After shugging for shovelglove.

So, basically, I "score" myself after the fact. To give myself a score before and then have to prove it just wouldn't feel right to me. I think it would add more pressure.
