I see this in a lot of self-help type articles and books. They tell you to reward yourself after you’ve completed a certain task, or part of the way through a task.   Unfortunately, they very rarely give you good examples of rewards.  I recently came up with a list for myself which I think could be useful to others. Here they are:

• Play a favorite video game
• Watch a movie
• Listen to music
• Watch a show on hulu.com
• Browse Facebook
• Watch a movie at a theater
• Go to a special restaurant
• Listen to a podcast
• Drive somewhere and take pictures
• Purchase a new piece of clothing
• Purchase a new computer part

The reason for this post is because it has been a long time since I’ve written a previous blog entry. I’ve procrastinated doing it for a while, and I’m now beating that procrastination with a stick.

So, now that I’ve posted this blog entry, I’m going to choose something from the list above to reward myself.  It really wasn’t that hard after all.

More to come.
