This document discusses behavior change techniques such as goal setting and tracking cues to action. It provides an example of tracking bike rides to campus, with goals of keeping gas in the tank and bike maintenance. Despite strategies to use a bike for transportation, the author had issues with theft and flats. To wake up earlier, the author set alarms and read motivational quotes, but found the key was changing bedtime to support the wake up goal.
