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.
