Graduation Things Pt. 2, Week 9: Reward Survey

And so we moved to another agenda which is the Reward survey. The main purpose of the survey is to understand the pattern of self-reward work. So, as usual, I'll be asking some questions based on the topic to get a better insight.

I had 19 responses for the survey, which is not much but I quite some interesting information that could help me with the project.

So from this question, the majority of the answer chosen when asked how often do they reward themselves, more than half of them chose only when they reach their goal. And in my opinion, I think that really healthy of them, and goal-oriented as well.

Foo happens to be everyone's favorite reward, cause it helps them feed their mind and their tummy, and it's also easy to get. For second place, binging on TV shows or movies is a very good way to reward yourself, it somehow recharges you enjoying entertainment in the comforts of your own home.

Still, in the first place, we still have a food-related reward to be the most prioritized in rewarding ourselves. Coming in second place, we have shopping, spending money on things you've been wanting is like a therapy, so I would agree that this is a good way to reward yourself f you are financially loaded.

Coming near to the end of the survey questions, turns out reward can be hard to determine if it works or not, cause people don't really take that much consideration when it comes to getting good stuff these days, I guess the lack of gratitude is causing them to not understand how does reward work.

*The answer above is related to the last question.

An interesting answer I got from this question was the abuse of rewards they give themselves, I guess it's like after reaching a goal, they get what they want but turns out the reward isn't satisfying enough so they may be spending more on it. Looking at the survey answer, it happens to be that rewarding yourself can be tricky especially if you have an issue with self-control. With that being said, the Routine and reward maker shall include step by step guide to planning a reward.
