I suggested one week at a time too, but no one responded. I feel that the formulas are ludicrous and do peoples heads in. I just don't think it's necessary at all to have such complex blocking systems. I feel it does way more harm than good. I really do believe that people will fall into line and abide by the guidlines faster by getting one week blocks at a time. It's a much faster learning mechanism that I feel will benefit people greatly and learn to act more appropriatly in the long run. Why can't it be trialed?
