Trick and Treat to Beat Procrastination

We all like be to rewarded for a job well done. And if we know there’s
going to be a reward at the end, we’ll be more motivated at the start. You
can apply this to studying: Trick yourself into working now by promising
yourself a treat later.
Before you read any further, think of a reward you can give yourself
after you complete this lesson or before you begin the next one. Here are
some suggestions for rewards to give yourself:

• Telephone a friend.
• Have a nutritious snack.
• Spend time with your pet: cat, dog, goldfish, hamster, hedgehog.
• Take a walk or exercise.
Next, take out a notebook and make a list of other rewards you’d
like to give yourself–rewards that don’t take a lot of time, aren’t expensive,
and are easy to do right where you are.
