One of the things you might reasona

One of the things you might reasonably want to do, having read this book, is to practice a few of the things you’ve just learned. In fact we probably should agree that, following the general rule that ideas only mat-ter when in material forms, unless you put these lessons into practice, you can’t really learn them.In this appendix, I offer a series of exercises which are keyed to indi-vidual chapters. I’ve used some of these with individual students, or with groups of them. In other cases I’m guessing at what might work for you, or drawing from my personal experience.Before we get started, though, one thing: I think this will all go muchmore smoothly if you find another person to do these exercises with. Hard things get easier when you’re not alone, and it’s easier to maintain a habit when you’ve included someone else in it. Plus, teaching something to someone else—or explaining to someone else what you’ve learned—is often the best way to actually learn it yourself.Chapter 3: Habit FormationWhen can you work?
