The trick is to create one new ritual a month in order to make something a habit. (...) If you decide to do such a thing there is NO other habit you can adapt that month, you will fail.

So you mean I can learn only ONE new habit a month? No matter how small it is??

If I were you, I would aim to create a structure in the day for 2009 in which you can achieve well. If that is set up you can achieve many of your other goals MUCH faster WITHIN the structure of achievement that is now completely habitual.

One part of me thinks "Sounds good! I'd have some structure in my day and would be free to be creative within that frame. Nice!" Another part of me thinks "Grrrrr! I hate routine. I don't want to do something the same way every day."

Right now you are focussing all your willpower on a 100 different things and nothing gets done.

Well, that's not entirely true. I do make some progress. Just in a very unpredictable way.

OK!
I'm joining you in learning one new habit a month! I don't know yet which one first, and I don't know yet if I'll aim to structure my day or simply commit to doing what I want to learn every day at random times. But I'm with you in this.
I think it's an excellent idea, since many of my goals are about building habits.
Maybe we could find some more people interested in such a challenge?
