For two years I wrote notes in class on yellow legal pad. After class, I rewrote into a spiral notebook, one for each class. That way I only carried a legal pad to each class everyday.

Not surprisingly, my grades those two years were great. Never had the fortitude to keep it up.

Strange, I would have thought that a habit successfully kept for two years (or even considerably less than that) might as well be permanent.
