I find some people are, but others are motivated by rewards (this is the carrot vs. the stick debate). In either case, what counts as a consequence or a reward for you? If I say, hey, charge yourself $1,000 for each unattained ridiculous writing goal, maybe that is not enough of a consequence. Likewise, i f I suggest treating yourself to a full week at the Sundance Film Festival if you accomplish all of the goals, that might not mean anything to you. I guess it boils down to this...what is important? Use that for the motivator:) Nice to meet you btw:) Are you sure you are motivated by consequences?
