Zusammenfassung:1. Field of Invention An attention-focusing device () supplies sets of prompting signals for a plurality of related self-improvement regimens, and has a housing () of a structural form that fits within a closed hand, allows convenient portability, and camouflages use and purpose of device (). The device has a visual sender () embedded within the housing () to shield the signal from direct observation by non-users, and an incurvate surface () formed in the housing () to further shield the visual sender () and provide a structural surface for kinesthetic contact. The circuitry () of the device () provides a mechanism for selectable visual, aural, or tactile signaling, gentle, non-coercive signals forms, a single switch () for selecting operational modes, and a microcontroller () that can be flexibly programmed to produce a plurality of temporally predetermined, sensibly distinct, repetitive signal sets that are operable individually or concurrently to implement multiple-objective programs, including several related self-improvement regimens for controlling human body weight.
