One of the strongest ways of motivating ourselves to do anything is giving ourselves a reward at the end of it. That’s what most of us would like to believe, anyway, and it’s preferable to a punishment. Hard work and self-discipline are essential for achieving our goals a lot of the time, but no one can stay laser-focused every hour of every day. Sometimes, we just need to unwind and have a little fun.

That’s where memes come in. Forget your to-do list for a moment, and put out of your mind any thoughts about making yourself feel bad about procrastinating. The entertainment you find might give you the boost you need to tackle the rest of your day. It also might tempt you into a spiral of endless scrolling. The choice is yours! I know it is not an easy one, but if we’re being honest, you’ve probably already made it.
