‘A tangible consequence is more effective than an intangible reward.

interesting.  i think it would only work for me in kamikaze mode, and then i would just get irritated and write somewhere else.  because my procrastination genius knows no bounds.  besides, a very stern “dear!” that i get from the boy tends to work just as well.

side note: if you need more proof of my procrastination problem, know that i have a paper due in an hour, as i write this.
