Productivity through Punishment

RebekaD · 09-23-2019, 06:11 AM

Okay. So since late July I've been out of work and trying to write the book I've had in my head for years (but didn't have time to write cause of work). In otherwords I'm trying to turn my book into a full time author career. I'm struggling with staying focused and actually getting stuff done though. So I had a thought to set up a little reward and punishment system for myself with your help.

I'm trying to work 2 hours in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. I know if I can actually stay focused in that time I can get a lot done and still have time for fun things as well. The way I work is I'm trying to do focused work for 15 minutes then a 5 minute break and repeat. So I should have 45 minutes of focused work every hour.

My thinking is that I set myself a goal for every 15 minutes of work and if I fail I have to do a random punishment during the 5 minutes. And if I make the goal then I can reward myself. I would also like to have a goal for the day as a whole and bigger rewards and punishments for if I make or fail that goal.

So what I would love from you wonderful get dare members is to help me generate a list of rewards and punishments to pull from. For the 5 minutes one they have to be pretty simple and quick so that I can do them and be ready to get back to work at the end of my 5 minutes. For the full day ones I'm a bit more flexible on how long they take.

Semi productive morning although I only worked 1 hours instead of 2. I only made my goal for 1 of my 3 15 minute sessions. Though I got close for the second one. I'm getting ready to start some afternoon work. I made a spreadsheet to track my progress as well as punishments and rewards and everything. Though I'm still working on filling it out. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

This is a bit challenging because several of your likes are things most people think of as punishments, but I'll take a crack at it as a fellow writer...

I would also comment that YouTube learning specialist Mike Boyd finds 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off to be optimal timing, for two sessions an hour rather than three, so I'd suggest that. You can even find timer apps designed for this method, which is called the Pomodoro Method. Just search for "Pomodoro Timer App" on your phone's app store.

Also some minor prep: make some thin ice cubes by filling a couple of ice cube trays only half way with water. If you have a fridge with an ice maker, they're probably thin enough, so disregard this instruction. You may also need some help getting the ice cubes for your punishments, if any, though you may be able to use a wheeled office chair to get to the fridge, depending on your living setup. Alternatively, you can keep the ice cubes in an insulated water bottle or lunch bag, or other type of cooler to keep them frozen for long periods in your room.

You may also need nearby: your nipple clamps, your leather blindfold, your vibrator, your phone, and some headphones/earbuds.

Linked Reward-Punishment Task for Two-Hour Session (four 25-minute sessions). Use only if you succeed on your first session of the morning.

Initiating Reward: Take off your shoes and socks if wearing them. Tie your feet together. This means tying each toe to the corresponding toe on the other foot, beginning with the little toes, and then finishing by tying your heels together with the rope routed around each ankle. You can do this with a single rope by routing from each pair of toes to the next, then wrapping from the big toe to your ankles. Leave them like this for your next writing session. It will help if you have a footrest to rest your feet on in a posture somewhat similar to sitting cross-legged.
Linked Reward: If you succeed on the writing session immediately following having your feet bound, you may leave them bound for another session. In addition, during this break, I want you to use a free voice recorder app on your phone to record yourself saying, "[Name], you are such a good little writer slave bondage slut you can even focus in bondage! Only a true bondage whore could be such a good little girl and finish her writing tied up like this!" You're not going to use it just yet though, just keep it for later. You now have some free time to do whatever you please until your next writing session begins, so long as those feet remain bound!
Linked Reward: If you succeeded in a third writing session this period, you are to take off your shirt, bra, and anything else above the waist.
Plug your headphones/earbuds into your phone.
Cue up your voice recording, on repeat.
Put on your nipple clamps.
Put on your leather blindfold.
Put in/on your headphones.
Now push play and enjoy your self-degradation and humiliation reward for five minutes.
If you succeed all four times, you may repeat reward 3. This time you may also masturbate until orgasm using your magic wand vibrator to turn it into a major reward. Pleasure yourself with your vibe while listening to your sensory deprivation degradation until you cum.
Linked Punishment: To help you keep from being too distracted by the pleasure of your feet being bound, if you fail the writing session immediately following having your feet bound, you get to see how many ice cubes you can push between your trapped soles in the next break period. Don't let them slip out! At minimum I want two in your arches and one slid between the bases of your toes. Leave them there until they melt!
Linked Punishment: If you fail a second time with your feet bound, repeat Step 5, the ice punishment. This time as the ice melts, you are going to edge once.
Final Punishment: If you fail a third time with your feet bound, repeat Step 5, the ice punishment. This time as the ice melts, you are going to make your best attempt at edging with an ice cube in your pussy!

Note: if you did not succeed all four times, you do not get to orgasm this morning! Only good girls get to cum. Better luck after lunch!

I have other ideas, but I'll wait to see if you liked the overall theme and progression of this one.

So I really love the linked reward and punishment idea. That is very interesting and something I hadn't considered. I'd love to see more if you have them.

I am quite familiar with the Pomodoro Method. I originally started doing 25-5 but realized that after 15 minutes I wasn't getting significant progress (like 500 words in 15 but only 550-600 in 25) so I tried lessening the time. I've found that for me personally 15 minutes is my best time. Anything more than that an I lose focus.

I'm about to get started with my morning session now.

I most enjoy giving dares involving exhibitionism, nudity, orgasms, and bare feet. I like to give dares/commands to people who are eager and grateful to obey, not ones who have to be blackmailed or brow-beaten into doing things. I do not support chastity or long-term denial. My philosophy as a dom is almost diametrically opposed. I adore, encourage, and truthfully answer, virtually all questions.
