Namely, what to do with repeating workflow items as opposed to singular, one-time project-associated actions. I've considered creating workflows for all my repeating projects (e.g., lawn aeration or vehicle maintenance) and mapping the underlying tasks to specific days on the calendar, depending on the frequency of repetition. This is distinct from one-time projects, which systems like GTD seem to be centered around. Has anyone successfully and simply dealt with this?

I think it could work for me. My problem with developing an exercise habit is there is no immediate feedback. I dramatically improved my money management because I made a point of putting a certain amount of money saved in one place and watched it grow. (I called it my "fritter fund" because before I had been frittering it away.) With exercise, all you have to show immediately is. . .sweat? But I am pretty competitive and I think the chain method could work. I'm going to give it a try. That and signing up for the October challenge. Steve: Thanks for the Seinfeld method.

I'm no expert, but I was pretty intrigued by an article I read on leadership from a neuroscience angle. So, just applying it here, I found that to form habits, it's pretty effective to apply positive reinforcement once a "habit act" is completed (it's something to do with connections among the dendrites and dopamine, or something). While it doesn't change anything in practice, it's useful to know why it's working as well as it does. Just a thought :) Hi Leo,
