Motivation

If you see me on a regular basis, you know I never have the same color nails for too long a period of time. And by too long, I mean over a day. Needless to say, I love to paint my nails. However, the thing about painting nails, is that is takes roughly 40 minutes to finish the entire process from removing the last nail polish to drying. I always have the patience for it, but the problem is, I don’t always have the time. In high school, especially senior year, I was able to spend almost every evening painting my nails a different color. In college, however, I’ve found that spending the time painting my nails every night when I should be doing schoolwork, had not been working to my benefit. Which is why I decided to use painting my nails as a motivation method in order to get work done.

How it works:

Step 1: Choose a piece of school work

Step 2: Choose a nail color

Step 3: Break up the work into 10 or 20 minute increments

Step 4: Alternate between work and nails until the work is finished

Step 5: Once work is finished, finish nails completely

Step 6: Have nicely painted nails and a finished piece of schoolwork!

Sometimes, if I really need to concentrate for a longer period of time than just 10 or 20 minute increments, then simply paint one hand, take a break from the nail process for as long as you need to finish the work, and then finish the other hand when you’re done.

You are welcome.
