positive reinforcement

I am rewarding myself with cupcakes once again. It worked with doing my taxes, so it should work now. It turns out I already did the essay for Japanese, so now I just have to do the translation and a personal statement of sorts for appealing a financial aid decision (I have exceeded the number of hours for a degree), as well as studying. I will earn 1 small cupcake for each of the tasks, and one for studying an hour each day for a week.

BF Skinner would be proud.

Ha ha that's cool.

Good for you.

Financial aid appeal- done! Although it was written during Mercury retrograde the moon void-of-course, so it may need some editing. I plan to drop it off tomorrow. Nothing like good old fashioned classical conditioning to give you the motivation to do the things you are supposed to do.

A small technicality... it's operant conditioning.
