Habits

Okay, it has been almost three weeks since I posted anything. First I
had final exam week, and then I was home for the holidays. It is
amazing how much less time I spend online when I am on vacation. I
basically just check my email once a day and glance over the RSS feeds
to see the news headlines.

This shows how our habits depend on the situation. If something is no
longer convenient, or we are no longer exposed to environmental
stimuli that cause us to think about it, we are less likely to do it.
