    34 | Don't Let Your Reward Undo Your Progress: Using Incentives to Build a Consistent Morning Quiet Time

    Have you ever considered rewarding yourself for being consistent with your morning routine? Could a simple incentive help you build momentum in your morning quiet time? Or is it possible for a reward to accidentally distract you from the real goal?
