I like to juxtapose things. So, today it occurred to me that instead of setting goals and then rewarding myself for achieving them (hard for me because I tend to reward whenever I feel like it:-) I decided I should set rewards that get things done for me.

I usually buy a lot of books each month but I'd like to spend that money for something else the rest of this year so I had to figure out how to curb that book buying. So, I decided I can buy one book a week, every Tuesday, LOL. Now I look forward to Tuesdays! It's exciting to wait and figure out what to spend my Tuesday book buying on, I haven't bought a book this week yet because I haven't found one that I think I would like that much?

Today I decided I would love to sleep in clean sheets every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month (so have to change my bed, obviously, to do that). But taking a problem and flipping it, making it a feature and strong point of your life instead of a problem you want to get rid of, that's fun for me to see if I can do.
