background - Bantering with people is an essential skill to build better relations and ease people. If I can get a feel of whats it like inside when people are bantering I think I'm going to get better at it. – Mugen Oct 18 '10 at 20:54

I would take out the "software/websites" bit and replace it with what tools, systems or methods used to track personal goals. GTD, Habit Tracker, RPM (Anthony Robbins) are examples of tools that aren't necessarily software or web based – Christian Payne Jan 31 '11 at 20:55
I think "software/websites" is more specific and a great question. Everybody knows about GTD and other methods, but software/websites is really interesting. – DaveBall aka user750378 Sep 4 '11 at 9:18

Too far out of topic. Off topic questions should be something that is likely that people might be mislead to think belongs here, but is not part of this topic. This question is just as far out in this category as if it was posted in SO. – awe Apr 26 '11 at 9:48

@ire_and_curses, I don't agree. I think there might be reasonable answers to that question that might help people for a starting. Based on that they might come up with more detailed questions. – bonifaz Mar 20 '11 at 20:26

(to me) this question is not specific enough. I could answer with "when you feel tempted, read your bible", or "what's another habit you could do instead". What type of habit? Are you a biting your fingernails? Or do you have a heroin / cocaine habit? What sort of answer would you accept to this question? – Christian Payne Jan 31 '11 at 20:51
