I plan on roughly timing myself, but also on enforcing a rule that before I sit down at the keyboard, I have to have a goal in mind. That could be anything from reading my GTD blogs to researching a new purchase, etc. That way I can hopefully avoid some of the mindless time-wasting behavior I’ve gotten into.

I like you’re idea about rewards! Having a background in psychology I know all about the power of positive reinforcement. Call it dangling a carrot if you will, but if it works, it works. Perhaps I’ll give that a shot as well, especially on the weekends.

Would you think it would work if you worked a reward system for yourself? You get all your tasks dine first, and then are able to reward yourself with computer time? Just want to know your thoughts. Thanks for the comment on FFOP!
