When I first bought a digital camera I ran a two day project called "what does Curtis do". I wanted to compare what my values and goals were with shots taken of myself from a tripod every 15 minutes from when I got up till I went to bed. It was a shocking revelation. Let's just say there were some differences between what I tell myself I value and how I spent my time. It changed my behavior, more exercise for one.
I take videos of most of my shows for the feedback. At my last show I found out to my horror that I was wiping my brow with a towel and sometimes brushing my hair in the middle of my forehead like a demented impression of Chris Farley.
