In one of my subjects this semester, we have to design a behaviour modification task to implement on ourselves. It can be anything, so long as it can be conducted via a four week program.
I decided to design my program around my two loves - violin and going on the computer!
The idea of it is this: if I practise my violin for half an hour, then I can go on the internet for half an hour. In the third week of the program, I will decrease the reinforcement (internet use) to 15 minutes and see if I still continue to practise for half an hour, and in the fourth (and final) week, I will have no reinforcement (no internet use) and see if I still continue to practise.
I figure this is a good way to get my practise to increase, as I've been a bit slack on that front lately!
But whenever I need inspiration, I always listen to this. The strings section towards the end never fails to give me goosebumps! This is why I want to learn the violin!

Hey Alicia,what dates will you have no reinforcement (no internet use) and does this include no Tweets?? Will we have to communicate by phone that week so that I know what you are up to?
Dad.
I haven't decided when I will start the assessment yet because we go to NZ in the middle of what should be the 4 straight weeks of the program.
Anyway, technically I can use twitter on my iPhone without logging on to the internet (I have an app especially for Twitter) so I'm sure I'll be able to compromise! And it might actually be a good discussion point for the report we have to write up at the end of the four weeks!
Besides, our tutor was very clear that the program doesn't have to be successful - as long as we document this in the discussion part of our report, it's fine. If I find that I can't survive on just half an hour of computer use, then I can just analyse this in my report
But yes, we might have to resort to old-school text messaging for Week 4 (or earlier if I can't get by on just 30 mins or 15 mins of computer time!)
