Request

I am trying to think of ways to punish (reward) myself for not getting things done (getting things done). Since I have no money, the punishments and rewards cannot be monetary.

The fact that I cannot come up with anything says almost as much about me as the fact that I have to do this in the first place.

I am thinking no meat until the task is done. If it is done on time, then I get to watch a classic DVD.

Here is a parable for you, I think this is the best answer I can give.

When I was in ROTC, the Executive Officer for the Battalion (a very tough looking Lt. Colonel with a very French sounding name) was asked about getting up in the morning. In the Army getting up extremely early in the morning is an odd ritual that they really love for some reason.

He was asked the question how many minutes before you have to wake up do you set your alarm in the morning, and how many alarms do you set?

He replied,
"I set exactly one alarm at exactly when I need to be awake. When the alarm goes off, I get up."

here's a parable.

wise sam.
wide indeed.
wise-ass.
haa hahaha.

This could be followed up with one of those jokes "show me a man who can wake up the exact instant that only one alarm bell goes off, and I'll show you a man who sleeps on the railroad tracks."

haa. not knocking you sam -just amkiing a dumb joke.
