Keeping aware of goals and progress

Do you want to improve a habit? Here's a powerful first step: keep track of how you're doing it now. Let's say you want to make your explanations to your class more clear. How would you know? Ask your students a question like

I found the explanation of mitosis in class clear and understandable.
Strongly Disagree o o o o o Strongly Agree

Start with baseline scores. Now, as you attempt to improve the clarity of your explanations, your scores should go up.

The approach actually accomplishes two things.

  1. You are made aware of the progress you're making toward your goals (or not making.)
  2. The fact that you have a routine of repeatedly testing your performance will keep you more aware of your goal. And keeping aware of your goal is a requirement for attaining it.
