Lunar Cycles FTW
Here's an awesome-looking find over at Lifehacker: HabitForge is a site that you can configure to send you daily emails that ask you to note your success or failure at something — for 21 days. (I'll confess I don't know why they chose 21; I always thought it was 28, and that works for me. Maybe there was a new study or something?)
Anyway, polyphasers are already thinking what I'm thinking: Having to check "were your naps PERFECT?" every day might be really helpful while adjusting to a new sleep schedule. And of course, it could have a ton of other uses, depending on how good you've gotten at ignoring daily emails…. ;)

Another good site for creating good habits is http://www.goalhappy.com
It lets you track your progress on dailly, weekly and monthly goals and also lets selected friends track your progress too!
Oh wow. ;) Thanks!
I've been using joesgoals.com for keeping track of stuff I want to do over periods of time. Once you get around to using it, it's great to see gaps in areas you've neglected.
Anyway, not sure how you'd actually use lunar cycle data which would say that you perform better or worse on some days? It's not like you can skip certain days.
That looks like a cool site, too. …I don’t know, maybe with lunar cycles, you could count every single day, but adjust what you consider “performance” to be? So, like, this was Sunday, so how well did I do on my reading and taking a nice walk and straightening up the closet, sort of thing?
Do you get the feeling there’s a realm of schedule-less “just do it” that some people have tapped into, but that those of us without Ridiculous Levels of Disciprine can’t get to? Some days, I want to find those people and thwap them. ;)
Hate them, hah, because I just get distracted by random cool stuff so easily.
The curse of being tainted by not being a complete automaton, I guess ;)
