Bonus: Printable Reward Cards

Gamify your wait out of procrastination

Gamifying a task is a great way to make it more fun and therefore more appealing to our brains, and to add a sense of competition. One way (there’s more in the Exploration on Overcoming Procrastination) is to challenge yourself to do X number of tasks or a task X number of times and set a reward you can claim once you’ve hit that target.

Remember it always helps to boost your dopamine level before you start a task as that’s a great way to combat procrastination and get yourself going. A reward is in addition so you’re topping and tailing a task.

A reward card also gives you accountability and positive feedback as you can mark off each time you take a step towards your set reward.

So, I’ve made a set of Reward Cards for full Club members to print and use as many times as you like!

You can write on the Card what the target is eg. Meditate, run 10km, write 6,000 words of your novel and choose how many times you need to work on that target to get your reward, eg. meditate daily for a week, run 1km ten times, write 500 words 12 times. And of course write on what the reward you’ll get when you complete your Card.

How you check off each step on your Reward Card is up to you – draw a star or a smiley face, colour it in, punch a hole, stamp it… There are six designs of Reward Card on three sheets of A4 and for ease of printing , and writing, I’ve kept the cards on a white background with coloured text (you may need to print at 90% for letter paper).
