Richard Canfield describes a student who aced tests but failed to turn in homework. After setting an alarm eight minutes before the hour to remind him to pack his backpack, the student went from low grades to straight A's. The fix worked because it matched how the student actually operated.

So I had a kid that couldn't get his homework in his backpack. A quick start, couldn't do it. And no matter what, he was getting season Ds not because he wasn't getting A's on the test, but because he wasn't getting his homework in. So we had a conversation and I said, what's your lucky number? And he said, eight. But okay, here's a strategy. At eight minutes before the hour, because they left for school at 8am no matter what you're doing, you get to drop and go put your homework in your backpack, set an alarm on your phone. And he said, so if Mom's talking to me, I could just leave? Absolutely. Now let me be clear. I did get permission from the parents before we put this strategy in place once we started doing it. Straight A's this year. So if you can't solve the problem, why stress over it? I guarantee you there is another person on this planet that can solve that problem.
