			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Investing in oneself is the most worthwhile activity imaginable, no matter how it is done.</p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li><strong>You Stand to See Exponentially Greater Returns.</strong><br/><br />
Time and money spent to better yourself, to learn new things, or to have new experiences will pay dividends in the future. We have all heard that it takes money to make money, and don&#8217;t you want to be the money maker?</li>
<p><br/></p>
<li><strong>It is Highly Satisfying</strong><br/><br />
Knowing that you have taken an action to better yourself, it is suddenly easier to rest at night. We can take comfort in the fact that we are progressing towards our goals.</li>
<p><br/></p>
<li><strong>Intelligent Treats can Help Motivate</strong><br/><br />
Thinking intelligently about the ways in which we reward ourself can have a tremendous impact on our productivity. It is clear that the difficulty of focusing on a particular task corresponds to our interest in the pursuit and outcome. </li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>Hence, prepare an interesting reward for tasks that are not rewarding in themselves. See that you develop intelligent rewards for paying off those parking tickets, that cable bill, to maintaining that workout routine and diet.</p>
<p>Up and out.</p>
