Or actually, that ...E-mail working perfectly today! Or actually, that was your blog from yesterday, but I just now am reading it. Thank you, as always, for the free book links. I'm acquiring a nice library for my great-grandson on my iPad, and of course, many very good books for myself on my Kindle Paperwhite. I use your behavior modification on myself all the time! I work a little and then do something I want to do--like check my email, then work a little more, etc. I sometimes even use a timer, so I don't get carried away with the fun segment. Ironically, I most often work longer than the allotted work time. Once I get started, I tend to keep at it longer, but then I know that my time is up and I can quit anytime I want. I used to use behavior modification on my kids, when they were growing up. It's a wonderful help for parents or grandparents or for me--great-grandparent. Blessings...

Before my injury I would have said it is!<br /><br />I could only work a few minutes at a time so I'd set a timer for 3 to 5 minutes & clean, then lay or sit to rest. As my back healed I'd set a timer for 10 to 20 minutes so I didn't re-injure it. Well you can get a lot of work done in 3 to 5 minutes if you focus!<br /><br />So 10 yrs later I still do this. Sometimes setting a timer, sometimes writing a list & trading between fun things (reading, surfing, ect) & chores. And I even enjoy commercial tv for this reason because I clean during commercials. This is mainly what I do on my off days, when I can't find motivation or am just tired but still need to get something accomplished.
