How I did it: I told myself I would floss every night for thirty days, and I didn't really think beyond that.  I may have also had a rule about starting the 30 day count over if I skipped a day.  But as it turned out, that didn't happen.  After about a week it became habit and before I knew it the month was up.  Now I feel weird if I don't floss!

Lessons & tips: If 30 days seems like a long time, just say seven days, or less even.  Once you've got a record going, you might find that you don't want to tarnish it.  You've done it three days in a row, isn't it worth the two minutes it takes to make it four days in a row?

Resources: Ok, yeah, I stole this idea from that "Super Size Me" guy.  But it works, try it!
