I really like ticking things off my to do list but this is the first time I have heard somebody frame it as a reward. But now, I’m going to frame it this way. Sometimes I even go back, add things I did that weren’t in my list that I did, and tick them 😄 That might be slightly counterproductive but it feels good!
Oh no absolutely, I do the same and yes it feels great! I mostly consider ticking things off a list a reward if it leads to an actual reward, for example X amount of days of working on task Y = cinema night. Every day you 'gain' the money needed for it, or the time so you are 'saving up' for it if that makes sense. And so that is a reward in itself.
Have totally felt that rage at the toilet door for not opening fast enough after forgetting that I need to go to the loo 😂
The worst, isn't it? Damn door! Haha
This was great! Very well explained, I like the metaphors!
Thank you so much 🥰

A 'sub reward' if you will haha
This was helpful. Time slots. And addressing the naughty toddler.
Yep, that Naughty Toddler can really throw us off our schedule! I'm happy you found it helpful 🙏
Yeeep, I totally agree! It shouldn't feel like a straight-jacket
