That's a really interesting point! I didn't think of it in that context before, but I think you're right. I definitely need to be trained to do this subset of things, because they've got to get done, and I just don't have the mental framework in place to make myself do them.
The really interesting thing is that several of the things I'm giving myself points for doing are things you'd think I'd be doing anyway - like "knit for 1 hour". You'd be surprised how often I'll mess around on the internet or just waste time instead of sitting down and working on a project I'm interested in. It seems very strange that I have to give myself incentives to do this subset of things I actually want to do anyway...
