How have you been since you started Kaizen club?

[hrehus]

Hi everyone, I just thought I would start a new thread where everyone could write their experience with Kaizen club. Here is what I've noticed since I started...

Let me start by saying that I've been in the club for a little more than a month now. I can definitely say that I kept some habits. I don't even know how and I find myself doing things that Mark suggested in the club, even though I don't have to do them any longer. However, there is one thing I'd like to change...

I wish I was required to track my new habits for four weeks. I feel like getting just to the make-break point after three weeks. It takes me about a week to start performing a new habit regularly and then I do it for the next 14 days. That is just not enough for me to really get used to it.

What do you think? Would it be better if you were required to keep track of your new habbits for four weeks?

well if you continue your habit you have after 21 days it shouldent be a problem to do the 4th week as it is a habit

I think the idea is not so much to pay such close attention to the new habits as much as to reap the rewards of the new habits. As Mark pointed out at the beginning, it takes 21 days of repetition to establish a new habit. I kind of wish that more of use members would help keep each other honest as week work on our daily trackers.

Oh, and one suggestion. Hang onto you tracker sheets for each 21 day period that you complete. Remember that you may have started the program in the middle of a 3 week period. I do like the idea of being required, but maybe we can just take the initiative and personal responsibility and keep track on our own.

I would be happy to support anyone in the club in keeping honest.

Take Care,

David Paul
