Needing Incentives

I decided that I needed some external motivation to get this final paper written, so I set up goals and incentives for myself. Get a specified number of pages written in a day, and get to go out and do something fun at night. Yesterday was five pages of writing in exchange for a movie and nachos. 

I was a little nervous that it wasn't going to happen, because it was an 8:10 movie and at 4pm I still had less that 2 pages written. However, I pulled it off in the last few hours of the day, and Mike and I went to see Grown Ups and had nachos while doing it. 

The movie was cute, and it gave me the motivation I needed to get my writing done.

Today's goal is another 5 pages, and the incentive is going to Rio for queso and margarita swirls (for those of you unfamiliar this combo is amazing!).  So, back to writing so that I can enjoy tonight's treat...
