- Pick up the nearest book. (I’m sure you must have one nearby.)
- Turn to page 123.
- What is the first sentence on the page?

(And no, you may not transcribe the entire page of the book–that’s cheating!)
"Raising rewards and punishments pushes the child into more self-deception, precisely when more self-reflection is needed instead. So we writers need to invest in a self-image as people who get something done every day, and self-deception helps us achieve that."
From Discover Your Inner Economist: Use Incentives to Fall in Love, Survive Your Next Meeting and Motivate Your Dentist by Tyler Cowen. It's a great, enjoyable book!
