March Challenge 2008 Results

Earlier month, I stated that I had three new goals for March, primarily to start shaving, but also to have a more regular sleep schedule.

For sleep, I tried to keep to a schedule, but less than half way through the month, I gave up the attempt, because my current lifestyle doesn’t require me to be up at certain times, so I don’t really need to sleep at certain times.

As for shaving, I call success! Of the 31 days in the month, I shaved on 28 of them. That’s 5-7 times per month more often than I would have in the past.

My technique was reward denial (for lack of a technical term): no computer use until after I’ve shaved. I call the technique a success, as of the 28 days that I did shave, only 6 days were after any computer use.

Also, thanks to kc2dpt of the ZH forums for his shaving tips, it’s made shaving much more enjoyable. I’m still using disposable razors, but now I’m using a brush and shaving soap instead of canned cream.

Also, just last night I’ve learned to put the ceramic soap bowl and soap bar into the microwave for 15 seconds, to melt it into the dish, so it doesn’t slide around or fall out.
