<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_Behavioral_Analysis" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_Behavioral_Analysis</a><p>ABA is some very interesting stuff.  I had never heard of it before.  Seems pretty simple and straight-forward too.  From skimming the article it seems you simply keep some kind of log of behavior, try various techniques for changing said behavior, and track changes in the behavior over time to figure out what works.<p>I bet there's a good startup opportunity here.  Hack your brain; shape your behavior.  An app could aide the process of logging, measuring and tracking changes in behavior.  It could suggest strategies and rank them by effectiveness.  There could even be a web aspect for seeing what techniques work best for other people.  Kind of like a more generalized version of RescueTime...
