- continued repetition of a baseline to establish a norm

   - think of something one is doing _more_ than desired, and every time
   it is done, do the task to establish a baseline of. keep the intensity
   such that this works rather than breaking.
   - if a behavior is fragile and must develop, increase the baseline only
   after it is well-established. even if this means almost nothing, and
   pairing with a strong reward.
   - if a behavior is strong, develop its baseline quickly.

     - a way for me to give feedback on how easily i am able to continue
     a baseline
     - if the baseline does not repeat, reduce it to something that can

   - tasks have different properties (activity, duration, discomfort) --
   these are all things to consider holding at a baseline or logging, to
   help sort out
   - I found it helpful to have a sugar cookie at moment of onset (and
   never else), for a hard thing. this may work even better with nicotine,
   caffeine, or other drug.
   - it seems helpful to journal and/or consider how things go, each
   behavior. this can lead one to notice powerful problems or
   opportunities.
