Describe in detail any special strategies you will use to help change your behavior (refer to Activity 7).

Create a plan below for any charts, graphs, or journals you will use to monitor your progress. The log format you developed in Activity 3 may be appropriate, or you may need to develop a more detailed or specific record keeping system. You might also want to develop a graph to show your progress; posting such a graph in a prominent location can help keep your motivation strong and your program on track.
