A little tweet for a little treat? 

Little treats are the only way to survive this thing called life. If I couldn't reward myself periodically with a little treat, I would never get anything done. Humans are simple creatures. We like to be rewarded for stuff. If there's something you don't want to do, the best way to get yourself to do it is by dangling a carrot on a stick at the end of that task. We're not much different from donkeys in this way. If you want us to plow the fields, there has to be something in it for us. But as you become an adult, the motivation stops being so external. You have to come up with the reward systems in and among yourself. This can be difficult to do, knowing that it all has to come from you. This is where the tweets list comes in. The tweets list is always here for you to use as a reward. Maybe you have a task you've really been meaning to do, and you just can't knock it off your to do list. The motivation is not coming from within, and that's okay. It rarely does. But these tweets are here as the light at the end of the tunnel. It's the reward after doing something difficult. You'll be delivered into the world of tweets, where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. So keep these in your back pocket and take them out when the time is right.

    Solid advice from Zito

    Zito @ Zeets My advice to everyone is to keep a box of ice cream sandwiches for when you're having rough days. Not to over-indulge but it's hard to really spiral when you're standing there eating an ice cream sandwich. They're too delightful. 10:23 AM 7/29/26 261K Views • . 66 17 1K 11K 458 ↑
