i think i'd make a pretty good motivator...know how they pay adam khoo like a ton of money to teach kids to work hard and all? well i'd charge half of that and probably be twice as effective! probably would only work with girls tho. hahaha let me explain...

anyway, so i'd been deliberating since last night where i should study today rite? and in the end...i stayed home. i think that was the "orange" option, right dhoby? haha anyway, knew that if i didn't have little things to break the monotony of it all, i'd be mightily unproductive. so i built in little incentives like arranging supper with farand at the start of the day (must always have the end in mind and an incentive to work towards) and painting my nails (short, focused breaks).

you see, nail painting really does take a whole lot of time and patience coz you've gotta let each coat dry and all. so, i built in each stage into my readings! i'd paint a coat after i was done with one reading and let it dry then do the next coat. by then, the previous coat would be prefectly dry! so with 3 coats on my toes and 2 coats on my fingers, i made it through like 7 readings or about 200 or so pages within the afternoon. quite a feat (feet) eh?

haha 5 more readings to cover tonight before supper and tmr's project meeting. better get down to it. with only about 2 hours before supper, glad the nail painting is done. no time for breaks between now and then already! heh but i do feel mighty accomplished today! perfectly painted nails and a whole lot of work done! grin. what good progress i've made on my thesis research, if i may say so myself. heh
