The Next Habit Goal: Solving Philosophical Puzzles

July 2nd, 2009 . Posted in Habits, Psychology |

My third experiment to see if the habit creation method in The Power of Less works was a success. For 22 days now I have followed a music practise routine, while adding to it in baby-steps approx. once every 5 days.

Technical note: At 29 days to create a habit, you would be able to create about 12.5 in 1 year, while at 22 days to create a habit, you would be able to create about 16.5. This is about a 33% increase.

On to the fourth experiment. This will be Solving Philosophical Puzzles. As with the first three ones, I will follow the keys suggested by Leo in The Power of Less.

1. The one habit I will focus on will be solving philosophical puzzles.

2. Each day, my goal is to focus on solving philosophical puzzles. The trigger will be right after eating lunch. The habit consists of:

- focus on solving philosophical puzzles for 2 minutes

This includes practising puzzle solving techniques, reading about and focusing on solving philosophical puzzles, and so on.

3. I have posted my goal publicly, here.

4. Every day, I will post on whether I succeeded at my goal that day.

Today was my first day, and it was a success.
