I have an idea people! I want to call it the "Gold Star Club"!
I want this club to help people reach their goals, whatever they may be, using behaviour modification with rewards.
Everyone here can join. You can just post what you want to do and what reward you will give yourself if you succeed in doing that task.
Then, when you accomplish the task, you announce it here on Babble and the first person to see your post will give you a "virtual gold star". This means that you can give yourself the reward you assigned to yourself.
What do people think of this idea? Who wants to join? I want to help myself and others with this club.
I'll be the first member.
Goal: Go to school early tomorrow, study before and after class until 5:30.
Reward if I accomplish task: 2 stars (I have actual sticky stars lol)
Reward if I make a good effort: 1 star
When I reach 10 stars I will treat myself to a movie!

I'm taking a short study break.
I ended up getting up late today, and didn't get to do any studying before classes started, so I'm going to stay late at school to study. I'm getting a lot done actually...it's not bad at all. :-)Deneb

Deneb, I am so glad that you came up with this idea. I did go to the health club. At first I didnt feel like it but I knew that I told you I would, so I did.
I only spent 20 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minute on the EFX.
How is school?

I didn't follow my plan exactly, but I still ended up getting a lot of studying done at school. I'm going to try to do this every weekday and either Sat or Sun. It really helps me concentrate to study at school.
I'm giving myself one GOLD STAR today!
Yay!

Aw, this reminds me of first year Chemistry. Both professors I had were fond of placing stickets on assignments, and it was fun. My current professor doesn't like stickers. :-(
Tonight's goals:
1.) Make something (biscotti, or, if that fails, brownies) for the bake sale tomorrow.
2.) Finish my part of the physics lab.
3.) Do the assigned readings for literature tomorrow.Tomorrow's goals:
1.) Call hospital re: volunteering. (I am super anxious about this and I don't know why.)
2.) Prepare for project meetings on Friday.
3.) Work on my part of the biology wikisite.If I meet most of my goals by Sunday (I'll give myself a tolerance of 2 on this), I'll dare to go to Starbucks and spend a ridiculous amount of money on a "coffee drink" high enough in calories to replace a good meal or two. ;-)
