Just One Page a Day

How can you develop the habits you choose? Last night, I read an article I really liked that gave manageable tips about how to form good habits. Of course, the author talked about lots of things besides reading, but one of the habits that she wanted to develop was to read more. She began by reading one page every night. 

1. Start small: Repeat a Tiny Daily Habit
2. Focus on One Habit at a Time
3. Remove Barriers: Have Everything You Need at Hand
4. Stack Habits: Build New Routines Onto Existing Ones

Now, I need to go walk around the block!

Who Are You?

If you feel like a little self-reflection, 16 personalities has an online test you can run through to help you think about your strengths and weaknesses, as well as how effectively you interact with other people.  Though many different personality analysis tools exist, this one is a little more detailed than some others I have seen. This kind of thing always fascinates me, and I ran through the test that you can take to see which of the 16 categories describe you best. It was eerily accurate.

Motivation

Last week, Dan Ariely asked an interesting question in a TED Talk: “What makes us feel good about our work?” The TED Blog responded with the post “7 fascinating studies about what motivates us at work,” rounding up research — from both Ariely and other psychologists — that speaks to some of the surprising factors that influence how we feel about our jobs.

I am pretty sure the same things motivate us in school.
