(This Motivation Hack That Actually Works)
Pair tasks you avoid with tiny, immediate rewards so that your brain starts associating effort with good feelings.
Examples:
- After answering emails → take 60 seconds to stretch or play a short song.
- After studying 20 minutes → eat a small treat or check messages for 1 minute.
- After finishing a workout → take a hot shower with a nice scent you love.
Why it works:
- Your brain loves instant gratification — use that to your advantage.
- Builds motivation naturally without forcing discipline.
- Turns productivity into a *positive-feeling cycle* rather than punishment.
- Makes boring tasks much more tolerable, even enjoyable.
