I’m going to let you in on a little secret: I can be a huge procrastinator and sometimes the only way I can get anything done is with a reward.??
If you have nothing to look forward to, your workload can quickly overwhelm you. So I’m a big fan of rewarding yourself after completing a time-consuming task.
However, it’s important that my reward matches the progress that I’ve made.? For example, the reward for spending 20 minutes replying to emails, isn’t a marathon Netflix binge.
Put a limit on it. One episode of You would be a more proportional reward.? If you plan your reward in advance – it’ll be much easier to stick to it and get back to work.
Because a reward doesn’t have to take hours to be effective. Quick ones will do the trick just as well.
Here’s my list of small rewards you can treat yourself to without feeling guilty.

3 年Did someone say reward? Rewards are sometimes the only reason I get things done. ?? Usually my reward has me strolling outside and taking a break. And sometimes it's my ego. Just knowing that I can push through and take the next step even though I'm not motivated *is* motivating. Heading off to check your list now.
