Stefan: That’s an awesome idea for taking the post-it motivation a step further. I’ll definetely try that! Not quite sure why I didn’t think of that and write it in my post!

Paul: Unfortunately, my alarm clock broke so I can’t implement the put-your-alarm-clock-far-away routine but I know a lot of people who do use it and it seems to work for them. Maybe this christmas I’ll get myself a new alarm Thanks for that idea. I should give it a go.

That’s a pretty good idea, and I definitely see how it could work.

For me, my best motivation comes from simply being awake (for early classes), so my making sure I’m up, I’ll usually go to class. I set my alarm clock far away from me and set it loud, so I’m very wide awake by the time I shut it off.

Unfortunately, my roommates aren’t too fond of it

Sounds like a pretty cool way to keep yourself motivated!
What I would do is something similiar. I would set myself a goal and count with bigger steps and reward myself. 10 days in a row with followed lectures means I can do something or buy something. (I had a girl once in my class who rewarded herself with shopping)

Thanks for this nice way, I will keep it in mind!
