In one of my subjects this semester, we have to design a behaviour modification task to implement on ourselves. It can be anything, so long as it can be conducted via a four week program.
I decided to design my program around my two loves - violin and going on the computer!
The idea of it is this: if I practise my violin for half an hour, then I can go on the internet for half an hour. In the third week of the program, I will decrease the reinforcement (internet use) to 15 minutes and see if I still continue to practise for half an hour, and in the fourth (and final) week, I will have no reinforcement (no internet use) and see if I still continue to practise.
I figure this is a good way to get my practise to increase, as I've been a bit slack on that front lately!
But whenever I need inspiration, I always listen to this. The strings section towards the end never fails to give me goosebumps! This is why I want to learn the violin!

(I tried to add the actual video to this post, rather than just the web address, but for some reason it wouldn't work.)
