Motivators Not Worth Setting

Never use the following as motivators:

1) Eating an immense amount of food if certain goal is achieved.

Problem: Stress put into achieving goal already induces increased food intake, the reward furthers the problem.

2) Not speaking to a person you like until goal is achieved

Problem: You are probably sad not achieving this goal, not speaking to someone you like just makes another area of your life sad. Should this person be a friend, they might understand; should it be a love interest, well then your life might suck some more.

3) Getting to do nothing for a whole day when mid-goal achieved.

Problem: Point of setting a deadline for the mid-goal is to have enough time to achieve the final goal. Taking an immense break results in unneeded stress and time wasted. You become more fucked over and then you regret relaxing.
