Established a useful new habit Optimized some part of a common routine or cached behavior
Lots of routine and habits related to social interaction mostly in job context:
Obtained new evidence that made you change your mind about some belief Decided to behave in a different way in some set of situations
I was pointed to The Thing All Women Do That You Don't Know About by a friend and she made clear that it is real for her. I listened, considered it, talked to a few friends about it and changed my mind. I also changed my behavior a bit in response to it.
Consciously changed your emotions or affect with respect to something
Accepted that I will never get acknowledgement for my support from one person and thereby handled my continued frustration from trying.
Consciously pursued new valuable information about something that could make a big difference in your life
Still accumulating advice in my Anki deck. The most recent:
Learned something new about your beliefs, behavior, or life that surprised you
Most people are not happy if they get information-dense diagrams I'm quite sure provide the information they need and what but apparently in a too dense form to deal with; even people I'd really have expected to appreciate the information. I need to simplify summarize and in many cases probably also reduce inferential distance.
Tried doing any of the above and failed
Still failing to really reliably getting enough sleep.
A suggestion:
One of our lesswrongers has a 9pm alarm. The 9pm alarm is a trigger for him to decide what time he is going to bed. It is not "go to bed" but "work out when I am going to bed tonight".
Seems like a solution not commonly mentioned. Otherwise - if you expand the problem more I can try to offer suggestions...
This is the public group rationality diary for December 1-13, 2015. It's a place to record and chat about it if you have done, or are actively doing, things like:

Optimized some part of a common routine or cached behavior

Or anything else interesting which you want to share, so that other people can think about it, and perhaps be inspired to take action themselves. Try to include enough details so that everyone can use each other's experiences to learn about what tends to work out, and what doesn't tend to work out.
