BBTD vs Pre-built Failures

In todays episode I\\u2019m going to share a story about how I set-up a personal exercise challenge for myself (based around the Jerry Seinfeld method for getting things done) and without meaning to, I built in some obvious failure points into the process.

Possible Failure Points:
- Public Holidays over Easter 2015.
- 6 days per wk, really? Is it too much too soon?
- Will 24 red-ticks over the course of a month really mean that much to me emotionally, or represent real progress physically?
- Is my chosen day-off (Sunday) the best day off?

The Failures So Far?
- The public holidays and the limited opening times at my gym over that period really messed up the first week of the program.

What has surprised me about using the \\u201cSeinfeld Checkbox Technique?\\u201d
- The accountability of having put a photo out there of the whole month in week one.
- It\\u2019s allowed me to relax about deciding what exercises I will doing during each trip to the gym.
- It has reminded me that you don\\u2019t always need \\u201cthe most noble of intentions\\u201d when making a positive habit change.
