Industrial psychology: Two issues
One workplace-related issue I have consistent problems with is getting to work on time. In the morning, no matter how early I set my alarm clock, I find myself constantly rushing to get to my desk at the last minute. To better understand why this has become a habit, for two days I will write down the time I set my alarm to go off; what time I actually got up; how long it took me to get ready; and how long it took to drive to work. This will help me identify what aspects of my morning I need to work on to better plan out my daily routine. Also, to motivate me to change those behaviors, I will write down the concrete consequences of my lateness, such as not being adequately prepared for an early, unplanned meeting or not being able to eat breakfast.
A personal issue I would like to work on is weight loss. To increase my awareness of what I am eating, I will keep a food and exercise diary for two days. This will help me understand how many calories I am eating...
It is very easy to fall into the trap of mindless eating, or simply munching on something because it is near you, not because you are necessarily hungry. At the end of the two days I will calculate my nutritional profile. As well of keeping track of my food intake, I will also write down how hungry I was whenever I ate, to see if I am eating out of genuine hunger or boredom. This will help me understand if I am eating food that does not satisfy my appetite or I am eating for psychological rather than physiological reasons. I am also hoping that the act of writing down my food intake will itself act as a motivator for me to eat less, just as having to write down the time I get to work and how many times I hit the snooze button will act as a motivator not to be late to work.
