Update

They say once you do something for 21 days in a row, it becomes a habit. I don't know who 'they' refers to (there's a really funny Paul Reiser bit about that, actually), but I do know that it seems logical to me. To succeed for almost a whole month at doing something every day would probably form a habit for me.

So, I'm using http://habitforge.com/ to try to form the habit to write in my blog every day.

I'm totally bogged down with lesson planning and grading papers and all of that right now, but I should be able to come up with some little tidbit from my day every day, I would think. We'll see.

When you sign up at Habitforge, you'll be sent an e-mail every day asking you if you did whatever your goal was the previous day. You click yes if you did it, and no if you didn't. And that's that.

Maybe I should also start one for going to the gym...

I'm about to do that now, actually. I've lost 16 pounds in the past couple months, but I've been stalling, and it's because I've not been going to the gym as regularly as I was before. So, here goes!
