Ultimate goal: 7 am
Subgoal: to wake up within 35 mins after the alarm sounds
Oooppss...I was late for my Japanese lesson as I woke up at 832 am in this morning!!! A lot of factors play a part in my failure: (1) I slept around 2 am last night (2) it was a rainy morning (3) I was too snug being underneath my blanket...Is this so called the "self-serving bias"? I would attribute my success to my dispositional factors but failure to the external factors. Lol ^o^
It's really hard to pick out from an immediate small reinforcer (pleasure derived from sleep) versus a delayed large reinforcer (achievement of my program)! Especially when attainment of the "sleeping pleasure" becomes imminent, its value increases drastically.
Today's moral lesson: There is no GIANT step that brings to a success. It's a lot of LITTLE steps with pits. I must buffer against the failure as to continue the jouney.
