I love it when I want something, when I really want something badly, when I am overwhelmed by an obsessive, passionate craving for something that I might not need, but I desire it so profoundly that I can’t stop thinking about it, day or night. I love these moments, because they give me the opportunity to strike a productive and highly motivating bargain with myself.
“Okay,” I propose, “here is a list of goals that are important to me. They are challenging, and it will take some effort to accomplish them. But once you have completed everything on this list, I’ll let you have your prize.”
Everything on that list is going to get done.
