Improvisation 2.0

Today at therapy my patient and I worked with habits, for the moment that is the main goal he has, he wants to have better habits in school and his house, I was going to work with the classic method of making an activities calendar, but due to his personality it is not that easy to follow something so rigorous, we were going to work with that, and we even started to plan it.

In the middle of the planning he went to the bathroom and while I was waiting I remembered the Seinfeld Calendar, I thought that it might work, and since he has the motivation to work I thought that giving him a little more flexibility and freedom would be better. He was more motivated with this one and he actually said that he was going to make another one at home, one more complete.

I know I am doing something out of the book, but I think this can work pretty well, I said to him that we would evaluate this method the next 3 weeks and see his progress, if it works well then we can get this done and get to another goal. If not, evaluate why isn't it working and either make a new work plan or adjust this one.
