You should come and ask Leo about it! :slight_smile:

… Indeed a controversial viewpoint on self-measurement which Ian Eslick of MIT presented at SF QS in March(http://quantifiedself.com/2011/03/self-tracking-without-a-written-record/#more-1436).

Habit Design San Francisco is hosting our monthly meetup this Friday featuring two leading Behavior-Change scientists, Dr. Kelly McGonigal of Stanford and Dr. David Sobel of Kaiser Permanente. Habit Design has quickly become one of the fastest growing meetup organizations and is now the largest community focused on personal habit development!

[b]There are 24 spots left for Friday’s meetup. You can RSVP here:

http://www.meetup.com/habitdesign/events/47736322/ [/b]

Details:
Stanford health psychologist Dr. Kelly McGonigal will be discussing the role of willpower and mindfulness in Habit Design. Kelly is a leading expert on the mind-body relationship and teaches for Stanford Medicine’s Health Improvement Program and is a senior teacher/consultant for the Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education. She has received a number of teaching awards for her undergraduate psychology courses, including Stanford University’s highest teaching honor, the Walter J. Gores award. Her popular public courses through Stanford’s Continuing Studies program—including the Science of Willpower and the Science of Compassion—demonstrate the applications of psychological science to personal health and happiness, as well as organizational success and social change. Her upcoming book, The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It (Penguin, Jan 2012), explores cutting-edge research on motivation, temptation, and addiction, as well as what it takes to make a successful change.

We received many requests to bring Dr. David Sobel back after his smash hit talk at December’s meetup at The Institute For The Future in Palo Alto on the importance of beliefs, moods, and confidence in Habit Design. David has graciously offered to continue the conversation with us. We will be uploading his presentation shortly. We’ll resume the personal “ignite”-talks for the next meetup.

Hope to see you there on Friday, the 3rd. Bring a friend!

THIS WEDNESDAY, 2/22, AT IDEO SF: http://www.meetup.com/habitdesign/events/52464422/

Yea! Thanks to our wonderful new friends at IDEO coming through with short notice, we’re honored to have Charles Duhigg, a reporter with the New York Times, as our featured guest speaker who will be discussing his forthcoming book, “The Power of Habit”! Copies of the book will also be available for sale before general public availability.
[b]
#1: RSVP NOW, there’s limited seating and we’ve sold out every time!

#2: Will you share a 5-minute story about your own personal habit formation experience? It’s super easy, casual, no slides required, fun, and a critical component of our group’s focus on “applied personal research”. [/b]

More about Charles and his book…

THE POWER OF HABIT: What the New Science of Habit Formation Can Teach Us About How We Live, Work, Spend, Learn and Succeed will guide us through to the upshot of the emerging science of habit formation, a field of research that has quietly transformed our understanding of human behavior. Drawing on the findings of a new breed of ‘habit scientists’ working in both the public and private sector, from Procter & Gamble, Apple, Goldman Sachs, and Harrah’s Casino to the U.S. Military and Mt. Sinai Hospital, the book examines the specific ways in which people are learning to radically manipulate habits – either their own or those of other people. Regardless of the habit in question – whether it’s smoking cigarettes or buying a particular brand of dish detergent or automatically firing a gun at an enemy solider – it’s now clear that the underlying triggers are the same across the board in surprising ways. As Charles explains, once readers understand how habits really work, and how change occurs, they can engineer new habits or get rid of old ones with the same basic tools. This wake-up call will undoubtedly inspire people to re-think many aspects of their daily lives. Drawing on thousands of scholarly studies and behind-the-scenes interviews, THE POWER OF HABIT will be a high-spirited intellectual adventure story, told by one of our most perceptive and voraciously inquisitive journalists.

Charles Duhigg is a staff writer for the business section of the New York Times, where he contributes to the newspaper and the Times Magazine. His work has received numerous prizes – including the George Polk, Gerald Loeb, Sidney Hillman and Heywood Broun awards – and he was part of the team selected as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize Public Service medal in 2009. He is a regular contributor to television and radio. He is a graduate of the Harvard Business School and Yale College. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, a marine biologist, and 16 month-old Oliver.

Yo, Habit Designers! There’s the African saying, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” As we started to explore last time with Charles Duhigg of The New York Times, Habit Design sustainably applied beyond 100 days requires a strong community, so we’re thrilled to be able to bring you an evening we’re dedicating on that theme featuring Dr. Allison Belger and… some of you! Thanks to our new friends at Adaptive Path for hosting us in their cool, new digs right on Pier 1!

RSVP HERE: http://www.meetup.com/habitdesign/events/58576532/

6-6:45: Social mingling, networking
6:45-7:30: 6-7 IGNITE-style talks from fellow Habit Designers
7:30-8:00: Dr. Belger & CrossFit
8:00-8:30: Wrapup, social mingling
8:30-: Dinner nearby for those who want to continue the conversation…

ABOUT DR. BELGER:
Allison Belger earned her BA degree from Dartmouth College, a master’s degree from Northwestern University, and a doctoral degree in psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. With her husband, TJ, Dr. Belger owns four CrossFit affiliate gyms called TJ’s Gym. She juggles management of the family business, her work as a licensed psychologist and fitness coach, and her role as mom to two young daughters. She knows first-hand the importance of community–of having a network of mutual support and human connection in the midst of our hectic, technology-driven lives. A former division-one collegiate soccer player and five-time marathoner, she has also been part of the wilderness adventure community and has trained for various elite athletic events, competing both individually and as part of a team.
Dr. Belger is passionate about telling stories of people who are making lives better through the power of community.The Power of Community: CrossFit and the Force of Human Connection is Dr. Belger’s first book which just released last week. Here’s a brief video.

Hope to see you then!

ABOUT TINY HABITS:

[From Prof. BJ Fogg’s website]: My new program “3 Tiny Habits” can create new behaviors in your life.

Let me explain . . . I’ve studied human behavior for 18 years, mostly at Stanford University. Here’s what I’ve learned: Only three things will change behavior in the long term.

Option A. Have an epiphany
Option B. Change your context (what surrounds you)
Option C. Take baby steps

Creating an epiphany is difficult. You should rule out Option A unless you have mystical powers (I don’t). But here’s the good news: The other two options are practical. And they can lead to lasting change if you follow the right program. However, few winning programs exist.

In December of 2011, I created a new way to tap the power of context and baby steps. Over 4,500 people have since joined in. The results are the best I’ve ever seen in any program. My method is surprisingly simple, but the impact is big. See what people say.

I invite you to join a future session of 3 Tiny Habits. Go here --> http://tinyhabits.com/join

Many of you peninsula folk asked for it so you got it: we’ve expanded Habit Design now to our 3rd chapter, Silicon Valley/Stanford! Please come join us next Friday evening, the night before the QS 2012 Conference starts to celebrate at our launch party! Like the conference, the party is on the Stanford campus…

If you’re not familiar with Habit Design, we are the largest cooperative for sharing best practices in what really works in developing sustainable daily habits beyond 100 days via Behavior-Change Psychology, Captology (Persuasive Technology), Game Mechanics & Techniques, Behavioral Economics, Social Psychology, etc. We’ve had over 40 talks in just our first year and are expanding to New York, Boston, and hopefully LA shortly.

Seating is limited so RSVP asap here http://www.meetup.com/habitdesign/events/79257532 so we can get a headcount and bring sufficient food & drink!

On Saturday, we’ll be having a breakout session at the conference covering some of the highlights from Habit Design’s first year and are eager to hear your own insights and experience in this field!

14

RSVP: http://www.meetup.com/habitdesign/events/84416082/

Come hear about the pros & cons of “gamification” from both the designer and user perspective as it relates to building sustainable habits beyond 100 days. Based on your RSVP responses, we’ll invite some gamification solutions (if available) to briefly present their design process and share our personal experiences in having used or tested them prior to the event (as we did with Tiny Habits last time).

Meantime if you’re interested in some background reading, I gave an interview for Stanford on the “Behavior-Change Games” genre which Nike, Jane McGonigal, Hopelabs, BJ Fogg, and I introduced last year. I’ll also be presenting on the same topic that day (10/9) at the Health2.0 Conference.

Hope to see you there!

**RSVP HERE quickly, we’re almost sold out! **

We’ve got a fascinating talk planned on **Shikakeology **(from Dr. Matsumura’s website):

How do you trigger learning by seeing?
How do you encourage eco-conscious behaviors?
How do you trigger health awareness?
How do you encourage crime prevention?

Shikake is a Japanese word that represents physical and/or psychological mechanisms that trigger implicit or explicit behavior-change. The merits of Shikakeological approach are summarized as four points; low expertise, low cost, wide range of target users, and long term continuous behavior changes. Developing a Shikake can be easier and less expensive than developing complicated engineering mechanism. These advantages allow people to use the Shikake approach to address immediate problems without requiring specific expertise. Another Shikake objective is to induce spontaneous behavior. When people feel controlled or forced by someone or something to do something, they never do that again. On the other hand, if people desire and enjoy changing their behavior, they would do it repeatedly. Shikake aims to change behavior through a continuous engagement and transformation process. The goal of Shikakeology is to codify the cause and effect of Shikake cases from physical and psychological points of view, and to establish a Shikake design methodology.

ABOUT DR. MATSUMURA:

Dr. Naohiro Matsumura is a visiting Stanford scholar and Associate Professor from the Graduate School of Economics at Osaka University.

His publications: http://mtmr.jp/en/publications-and-contributions.html

FREE Parking should be available on “The Oval” (center of campus and very close to the event location) but here’s a detailed parking map just in case: http://transportation.stanford.edu/pdf/parking-map.pdf.

We only announced this a week ago and expect to sell out quickly. RSVP before Friday when the early bird rate ends: http://www.habitdesign.org/events/105899342.

Details:

We’re thrilled to announce a “master class” Q&A session (fireside chat-style) with Dr. BJ Fogg, Director of the Stanford Persuasive Tech Lab, hosted by our good friends at IDEO. This is timed to coincide with the Society of Behavioral Medicine Conference in SF where BJ will be keynoting Thursday and Habit Design will be featured Friday. RSVP quickly since we always sell out and questions submitted early will receive priority consideration. Also, there may not be video of this talk up on our Vimeo channel.

This “master class” assumes you’re highly familiar with these six related works by BJ at a minimum: the Fogg Behavior Model, Behavior Grid, 3 Steps to New Habits, Tiny Habits, Motivation Wave, & Celebrate Tiny Successes. Attendance at one of BJ’s Persuasion Bootcamps and/or Mobile Health conferences is a plus! Those without prior familiarity are still welcome but should read up on them before the event. We’ll use a prepared Q&A format (ala “Inside the Actor’s Studio”) and submitted questions which reveal a strong familiarity with these works will be given priority consideration.

Depending on your responses, we’ll also hopefully revive our habit of having a few of our peers present a brief 5 minute story of their own personal habit formation experiences (please volunteer when you RSVP, it’s really fun).

Afterwards, you’re invited to adjourn with us to a nearby restaurant for the increasingly popular “Habit Design Salon” experience where the real “off-the-record” stuff gets shared over good company & food (pay your own way). BTW, “salon” as in this not this. :wink:

HOW THE EVENING WILL GO:
6:00-6:30: Social mingling & networking (light refreshments)
6:30-7:30: A fireside chat/master Q&A class with Dr. BJ Fogg
7:30-8:00: 4-5 Ignite-style talks from your peers
8:00-8:30: Wrapup & mingling
8:30-?: Dinner/Salon nearby for those who want to continue the conversation…

About BJ:
For most of us, BJ needs no introduction since his research, insights, and tools for behavior change have been highly influential to many of us. Habit Design itself was created during a bootcamp and then launched at the Mobile Health Conference.

Dr. BJ Fogg directs the Persuasive Tech Lab at Stanford University. A psychologist and innovator, he devotes at least half of his time to industry projects. His work empowers people to think clearly about the psychology of persuasion — and then to convert those insights into real-world outcomes.

BJ has created a new model of human behavior change, which guides research and design. Outside of Stanford BJ teaches how to apply behavior change insights in a new series of Persuasion Boot Camps. He is the founder and director of Mobile Health at Stanford, an event that highlights what really works to improve health behavior. Helping people create health habits is one of BJ’s primary interests. He is the author of Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to Change What We Think and Do, a book that explains how computers can motivate and influence people. BJ is also the co-editor of Mobile Persuasion, as well as Texting 4 Health. Fortune Magazine selected him as a “New Guru You Should Know.”

See you there!

@michaelbkim, Founder, @habitdesign & @kairoslabs

AT THE DOOR POLICY:
It’s unlikely, but if you’d like to try and see if there’s room last minute at the door without an RSVP (no guarantees), there will be an extra $10 added processing/hassle fee at the door. We’ve had some unfortunate experiences with this in the past, so thanks in advance for your understanding!

As we discussed with Dr. BJ Fogg at our last event, Behaviorism is back and thriving. A highly successful example of applied operant conditioning is [u]TAGteach[/u], a unique teaching and training technology based on the science of B.F. Skinner; Dr. Julie (Skinner) Vargas says of TAGteach "This is what my father would have wanted for his science." TAGteach provides a user-friendly way to apply the principles of behavioral science to any endeavor that involves human behavior change.that focuses on the structured application of positive reinforcement. TAGteach was founded by Karen Pryor, author of “Don’t Shoot the Dog”, Theresa McKeon, and Joan Orr. I was initially introduced to their work by BJ Fogg at his inaugural “bootcamp” and their work has broad applicability for Habit Design. Seating is limited, so RSVP quickly!

You’ll want to RSVP quickly for this event for 3 special reasons:
1)We’re very lucky that Theresa has graciously offered to fly across the country for our event

2)Theresa will provide an exclusive mini-workshop on TAGteach, normally $500, just for Habit Design!

3)Our newest host is the cool, hip Runway Incubator who is providing a 1-day pass to their beautiful co-working facility (with potential for longer term stays). Some of SF’s coolest startups call it home, so you’ll definitely want to try out their sweet digs.

About TagTeach:
Doesn’t matter which methodology you follow, strategy you employ or medium you work in, if the teacher stands in front of the information, the learner will struggle to get it. TAGteach tools are designed to help you deliver information in a manner that encourages focus and then step back so the learner and the information can connect. These tools have found success with a wide range of organizations including crews of large commercial fishing companies, professional golfers, lion trainers, university professors and parents of children with profound autism.

Some selected videos: The Neurobiology of TAGteach, User Stories, Teaching Swimming with TAGteach.

About Theresa McKeon:

After more than 30 years as a national level gymnastics coach, Theresa was determined to find a way to speed up skill acquisition for her athletes while simultaneously decreasing frustration all around. The answer was in the science of learning. The problem was the most beneficial tools defined in the “science” were clunky and difficult for coaches to procedurally implement.

In response, Theresa along with Joan Orr and Karen Pryor created TAGteach, a vehicle that transported the science of learning from the rigid rules of academia to the riotous world of live teaching and coaching. Today, Theresa designs and presents TAGteach workshops and seminars around the world and has adapted the technology in multiple fields including: education, business management, industrial education and safety, military, medical training, corrections, professional sports, and family communication.

18

Several LA-based habit designers have expressed interest in growing a new Habit Design chapter in LA and we need your help! If you’re interested please join at [u]http://www.meetup.com/HabitDesignLosAngeles[/u]. Once we get a quorum (~20-30) it’ll be easier to secure a host for the first meetup.

Also, if you can suggest a kind initial host for the kickoff meetup (somewhere with a projection screen to connect to) please email me (michael at habitdesign dot org). Thanks.

Hope to see you!

Best,

Michael
