Dude, you blew my mind when you revealed that "treating yourself for doing nothing is rewarding bad behavior." I've been reading a book by BF Skinner, learning about operant conditioning, and oh man that context made your statement resonate. I've been wondering how to manage my "treat yourself" moments, and I think this article gave me a really nice clear answer-- rest when necessary, but treat yourself only as a reward for hard work. Thank you!
