I’m going to focus on one rationality checklist item a day, and write down instances where I notice myself using it that day in my little notebook. (Or on later days, if it occurs to me.) When I run out of those checklist items I’m going to try pulling out some katas from the minicamp notebook.
I’m finding that it’s much easier to remember to consistently reward yourself for practicing one new habit than trying to install 25+ at once. I’ll see in a few weeks if the consistency pays off in continuing to perform previous days’ checklist items I’m not explicitly looking for.
I have time-delayed emails to remind myself to start again if I forget, and telling all my local LW friends to ask me about it now and again. I know I’ll want to avoid looking like I’m all talk and no game.

Absolutely. It’s also more effective when reinforcing behaviors in something other than myself.
