We had a tradition on the Barbara Sher forums of kicking off each month with a fresh thread. We discussed continuing that but settled on keeping one thread and letting it run long.

The flipping of the calendar page still brings a feeling of a slightly fresh start. Here's a list of recent things I've toyed with. Perhaps in the upcoming months I'll take each up in turn and say more.

• Tiny Habits as discovered by BJ Fogg
• WOOP - Wish Outcome Obstacle Plan
• Start to Finish, Finish to Start and Visionary Planning

This month: WOOP
From the website: What is WOOP?
WOOP is a science-based mental strategy that people can use to find and fulfill their wishes, set preferences, and change their habits.
Science
WOOP is based on 20 years of scientific research. The method has been shown to be effective in numerous studies with people of all ages and in many areas of life*.
*In research, WOOP is usually examined under the scientific term Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intentions, abbreviated MCII.

This is what it means: call up a Wish, describe what achieving the wish will do for you (Outcome), List one Inner Obstacle, Make a if-then or a when-then Plan. And carry on.
