What kind of time frames do you attach to these steps? I have found that
*lasting* change requires at least a six month period between steps 4 and
5. Short of that, we stretch people out of shape for a short amount of
time, lose interest in the task, and they revert to old behaviors when no
one is looking? Does this agree with other folks' observations?
