Establish a simple rule to change behavior

I was recently thinking about how to make change possible. Started Reading “the heart of change” – the pattern discussed in the book goes like this: see->feel->change. Robin has a great example of using an application like Cruise control as a vehicle to change the developer's behavior. People have to write the test and do frequent check-ins to integrate. Good example of establishing a simple rule for injecting a behavioral change.
