"I am successful."
 TOPIC №1. INCENTIVE PLANNING

 Dear young reader! In each article, a new column for successful people "I am successful" is brought to your attention.

I offer very interesting and guaranteed effective ways of shaping your success, and in any area of life, whether it's studying or relationships with others - you will find a lot of interesting things for yourself and learn to apply new knowledge, adapting it to yourself.

 Do you need it? - Of course. A successful person is a person whom everyone respects, listens to, whom they want to be like, a person who is rich both spiritually and materially. That's the kind of person you want to become, right?
 The knowledge offered today will take you to a qualitatively new level. They don't tell that at school! Let's get down to business!

 Topic №1. Incentive planning
 Probably, everyone at least once in his life tried to plan his working day, writing down points in a notebook and crossing them out as they were completed. But in most cases, everything is in vain: time passes, it all gets boring, work is abandoned...
 Why is this so? - Not interesting. To plan effectively, you need to come up with something that will push you to new plans and achievements every day.
Today we invented something new and interesting for you! So straight to the point!
 Every morning, when you wake up, make it a rule to make notes in a special notebook "My plans". This is the first notebook that you will need to start on the way to your dream success. It doesn't matter what size the notebook will be, how many pages it will have, what color it will be, etc. Perhaps it will consist of several volumes. This will be your real success story.
 So, these entries will highlight your work plan for the day. It is worth writing down all the work moments that need to be done in time: go to grandma's, take the printer to the service center, do the math, cook soup for mom, learn a poem from literature, sort out a pile of things from dad in a drawer, translate a text from English, shine everyone's shoes ... We write everything that you want to do in a day. But we try not to overdo it, we only write what we really have time for.
 Are you saying that you have done all this before? Indeed, but there is one "but"!
 We determine the importance of cases. Things can be important and not so important. Important things should be done first. So we'll highlight them with, say, a yellow-hot marker. There are also unimportant matters that can be postponed to another day. We will highlight them with a green marker. All others are our current affairs. We will not single them out. This will mean that they have to be done throughout the day.
 Example
 Water the flowers. It's for 5 minutes. We do it right away, cross it out, and forget it. Further. Do the math. This is what I do every day. Therefore, I will not highlight it. I will do it a little later. Take the printer for repair. Oh, it must be done immediately, because dad will swear again, that it should have been done yesterday. Highlight in orange. This is an important matter. Learn a poem. That's until Monday. Therefore, it can be highlighted in green. If I have time, I will start studying today.
 We count points
 Completed a five-minute task - got 1 point on the fields. Did the usual thing - get 2 points. Coped with the most important one - score 3 points on your account. And if you heroically overcome the "green" - you get 4 points.
 If you did not manage at least one task from the list, you give yourself -1 (five-minute task not done), -2 (for the current task), and -3 points (for the urgent task). "Green" cases are not taken into account, because they can be postponed to another day.
 Now the most interesting! We transfer points into money
 Parents give money to all children. Some teenagers already know how to earn them themselves. We will talk about this in our future articles. Now let's just imagine that we have a certain amount of money. 3 points, for example, is equal to 1 yen. You yourself can determine the ratio of points to money, it depends on your material wealth. Likewise, if you scored 30 points in a day, you can spend 10 yen on your pleasure, that is, buy something useful for yourself or save this money for a more expensive purchase. It's in your best interest not to earn penalty points so you don't lose money. If, after all, it so happened that it turned out to be in the red, you will have to postpone these funds until a better opportunity.

 It all depends on you. Make it a rule to spend only the funds allowed in this way (get your parents to give you money only after you have completed the tasks). With the help of a monetary incentive, you can achieve excellent success in any business and learn not to waste money for nothing. This idea must have been approved by the parents, who shared the Knowledge with them. Perhaps they will also be engaged in incentive planning with you?!

 Until the next useful meetings!
