So my wife recently realized the most magic thing in the world. I work for treats. Treats can be anything from a dinner out, or as silly as a new pack of Magic the Gathering cards. (Yes I know I'm a nerd.) While recently I have started a new project and am writing some fanfiction to get myself warmed up for my normal writing, she made me a deal, whenever I finish a project I get a treat.
Yesterday I finished my first chapter of fanfiction. She told me go get a pack of cards as inspiration for the next one. So instead, I went to the dollar store and to my surprise they had little resale packs of them. I may or may not have gotten a few. The cards weren't the best but they did their job.
This bribing thing is working so well that I'm even finishing up Lesson Learned - Lesson 3 within the next few days. This works for me, it might not work for everyone. Some people work to prove others wrong, that does nothing but get me down. I love praise and little silly things like this. It gets me motivated.
What gets you motivated and moving on any project? Treats are good but not good enough to get me to do housework yet. haha
