Need motivation for something hard that you don’t want to do?

Buy yourself a piece of candy, but don’t let yourself eat it until you finish the task. Then you have motivation to do it.

Get another piece of candy, and tell yourself you’re only allowed to eat it if you do really well on it–for instance, an 85% on a test. Now you have motivation to do really well.

If you get less than 85%, that’s okay too. You can throw your candy at somebody as you drive by. It is important that you pick a heavy candy.
