Welcome to

The Noticing Project

Research shows that meaningful change does not come from earth-shattering moments, but in the midst of ordinary, even boring, daily activities.

It is not in the activity but the noticing. Self-awareness is the act of noticing, while self-management is a conscious choice to resist a preference or habit and, instead, demonstrate a more productive behavior.

The psychological and behavioral interventions on this site are designed to foster greater self-awareness and management. Developed by faculty and students at Providence College, these activities invite you to observe your default way of being, experiment with small adjustments, and reflect on their impact.

Your responses are private by default. You may optionally choose to share select reflections anonymously.
