I'll also pay close attention to the season ie; my summer goal is always more "aggresive" . If I want to lose weight in the winter its difficult and my goal will be modest, but if I want to lose weight in the summer it quite a bit easier so I double or triple my winter goal. -Typically I've tried to manage a goal with a 30day 'trial' period followed by a 'beta' period for 30 days; the features of the goal are set , but I'll be open to working out the bugs. After that I try to move the goal into a stable routine-based period where I focus on monitoring the results (logs)of the new habit or habits -Thanks for this post its been helpful in getting a better picture. -48 minutes sounds like the right block of time for a period of productive focus; aren’t many class periods set up on this time frame?
