“Cognitive-behavioral techniques such as a post-it on your computer screen saying ‘DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE’ and having colleagues remind and even penalize each other is another way to reduce face touching,” Hafeez said. You can also set periodic phone alarms or calendar alerts.
i'm sure my cow orkers will be eager to help me with this, and that the phone alerts will be incredibly effective

stopped touching my face at gaming sessions with friends. figured all the crisps and other junkfood on my fingers helped nourishing spots. now i dont look like pizza the next day anymore.
find it rather difficult to stop rubbing bacteria and grease in my face at dancing events though.
anyhow touching your face nervously serves no purpose other than making you appear weak. its actually not a bad thing to get rid of. im sure a constant reminder delivering the message: "youre doing something wrong" is not the right way to do this though. just do it, youre a grown man and dont have to be told mate .-)

i guess part of my annoyance is that i'm out-of-the-box a bit OCD and i have things like "if i put my finger in my ear it will only itch worse, i need to wait to use a qtip instead, or, if one is not available, a nub of tactfully wadded paper towel" and "i can't rub my hands over my face, because then salt and oils from my forehead will make my eyes burn" and, jesus christ, i'm bad enough already, alright? can we not turn people into clinical nutcases, please?
the other part is the fucking articles themselves; it's just such shite. seriously, "Cognitive-behavioral techniques such as a post-it on your computer screen" -- this was obviously written by some pampered 20-something shit who thinks she has a clue because she minored in psych

one of the reasons i do not want kids is that one of them would lick the carpet or something and i'd have a small conniption after witnessing it. needless to say, i am not a huge face-toucher. i am also a compulsive hand-washer, and i use far too many napkins. i would be unable to stop myself from relentlessly driving my children to use too many napkins as well, and that's before we get into, ahem, cognitive-behavior techniques such as a post-it note

no joke, i have occasional moments of nostalgia for when i was six and thought nothing of seeing what playground equipment tasted like
(short answer: everything was crap except metal poles)

lol, i see :) well in case it helps, i´ve yet to meet a sane person. especially sane parent. guess its sufficient if you do mostly good.
clearly you thinking about stuff like that may even raise you above the bar,
a lot actually.

terrible what they taught children at times. seriously dont ever show your kids this
its a childrens book which i got read. its about children getting burned and maimed if they do not comply to sitting still at the table or let their hair and nails cut.
