That's a great article. Thank you for the link.
From my experience with developing habits and disciplining myself and after conversing with folks on this thread, I have finally figured out something about myself. I always thought there was something wrong with me that I couldn't keep a habit.
But now, I know that my will is quite strong and I can easily discipline myself to do anything pretty much AS LONG AS I have a good reason to.
A reason to prove to myself that I can do it is not a good enough reason. Like Keith also mentioned that once you prove to yourself that you can do a certain thing, the motivation goes down and eventually you stop.
In the article mentioned by Sworn, the person had a goal in mind. He wanted to pick up girls. Thus, developing habits was not as difficult.
Whenever we try to develop a habit, it's the hardest right at the beginning. But once we're doing it for a while, it's quite easy to maintain it. Again, you have to have a good reason to develop that habit.
