Great idea Luke! Being able to binge watch Breaking Bad is a great reward and I can see it keeping me motivated to get 6 hours of studying done.

Thanks for the comment!

I use a form of bribary all the time called reward substitution. I.e. doing the right thing for the wrong reason. Examples: Only get to have beer or bourbon after I workout. I started watching Breaking Bad while I was studying for the CPA exam; so some saturday and sundays I would make myself a promise: If I study for 6 hours I can binge watch Breaking Bad the rest of the night.
The anticipation of the reward gets us excited about things we never were excited about.
