Even as I sit here this morning, my mind is on breakfast. I make a deal with myself.
"Once I get this post done, as well as set up ones for the next two days, I can get up and make some breakfast."
I make a lot of deals with myself when I am in writing mode.
I can play two WWF moves, as long as I write a page once those are done.
I can walk the dog once I complete two posts.
A revised chapter gets me filled up bowl of popcorn.
If I sit down to write at night--which is harder for me than in the morning-- I get a glass of wine!
The one thing I DON'T bribe myself with is coffee. That I'm just allowed to have.
Happy Slicing!
Coffee - especially early morning - is a non negotiable.
ReplyDeleteI loved how you encouraged yourself to get things done!
I like your thinking. Perhaps I will include one of your evening bribes, but so far I have been able to get it all done in the morning before school or before I leave school for the day.
ReplyDeleteThese are fun. I get ice cream when I finish grading essays. Definitely you should never deprive yourself of coffee.
ReplyDeleteI've promised myself a piece of chocolate after I comment on every post I have opened in a tab. I have 3 more to go after yours. :) It's great motivation!
ReplyDeleteI often play these games with myself to get through things. Whatever works!
ReplyDeleteME TOO. Chips, cookies, and chocolate are some of my favorite rewards : )
ReplyDeleteThe reward of a glass of wine motivates me to do most anything.
