Becca L-Smith says, “Thank YOU, Kimberlee. I really enjoyed this post. Your use of stickers for motivation is adorable, it made me think of our inner child.”

MoonlitKim “(LOL) I think of it as indulging ourselves, and not being too grown up and serious! ”

Becca L-Smith says, “I wish I thought of stickers as an indulgence. lol I REALLY don’t want to resort to using chocolate indulgences instead. I need to brainstorm up some other rewards that will motivate me.”

MoonlitKim “Well, chocolate *would* work, but it might make you tired after awhile! Other people use money jars, where they put in a small amount after each task. Once it builds up, you can buy yourself a treat!”

Becca L-Smith says, “Oh, that would work! I could totally have a glass money jar in my office. It would be great to watch the currency grow.”

Hi Jen!

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Do you plan to use any of these motivational techniques, or are you going to create your own?

Thanks for stopping by!

Absolutely! You know, another reward I might like is a new notebook or pretty pen, etc. I think that’s a nice reward. But like you mentioned, your stickers are an inexpensive (immediate) reward to SHOW what you’ve accomplished.

You’re a wise woman.

Hugs,
Michele

For me, it serves double duty – reward and tracking. Snacks are good, but can pack on the pounds if the muse strikes!

I think stickers just provide that same little boost that teachers gave us as children. We all deserve a pat on the back and a “good job”!

This is awesome, Kim!

I suppose, for me, I consider a reward to be something like yoga or a date with almond butter – or maybe even chocolate (like you, Becca! )

Stickers will keep the weight down, though, and make ya feel all warm and fuzzy.

Thanks for sharing!
