motivationally lacking
I don't understand this concept put forth by self-help books and therapists, of motivating yourself to do something you don't want to do by "rewarding" yourself. You know, like, if you skip that dessert, you can have a warm luxurious bubble bath! If you go to the gym today, you can buy those shoes you wanted!
Seriously? Who does this work on? Besides children.
I'm a grown-up with a decent amount of money and free time and no one (besides my boss) telling me what to do. If I want something badly enough, I just buy it, or go do it. If I don't want it that badly, it's not going to motivate me to do something I don't want.
I don't get it.
