Don't you ever find that when you're doing well, you're on a camming roll, you just fucking love your job more than anything else in the friggin' WORLD?
Yeah... I'm on that kind of high right now. And it's all because I just planned my week ahead...
I will regale you, with a dramatic tale of good vs ev-... *cough*... I will tell you a tale...
Last week, I was browsing stuff on my wish list, really, drooling over that shit for hours online... like, to the point where I started adding stuff to my basket knowing full well I couldn't really afford it and would just end up closing that browser with no stuff bought (wah!)... I was chatting to my boyfriend about how I want all of this cool awesome stuff, being all mimmeny-pimmeny over how I can't really afford it, and coming up with all these cool ideas about what I would do with it all and how nice it would be. I then proceeded to go to bed, where I got all overexcited about wanting all of this stuff and coming up with Plan AWESOME...
I just thought, "Well... you know what? You can actually obtain all of these things! The miracles of werk permit you to actually own these things!"
I totalled up the expenses and set myself a high goal, which would permit me to comfortably afford them, and then set a threshold goal by which the week would still be a success if I met that. Well, I've just bashed the threshold in the AYASS and now I still have enough stamina to continue! .....Ahhhh... And my continued stamina is completely because I can now almost smell the freshly-printed factory pages of that Dark Eldar Codex book I have been so longing for! *nerdgasm* And seriously, even if I don't meet my high goal, this week won't have been a failure - I can still give myself a nice treat!
And seriously girls fuuuuuuuuuuu.... we more than deserve to treat ourselves for working hard.
You're cool, you're completely in control. You're your own boss. You GOT THIS.
Once you really take that in, you can work hard. Hard enough to play hard.
And my god, please treat yourself for working hard. - Not only because you deserve it, but because it trains your brain to equate work with getting what you want, thus making you both pro-active and happier.
I just wanted to pass this on.

Planning ahead is definitely something that makes a huge difference!



Definitely treating yourself! Ferrets are utterly adorable, I hope she says yes!
