Reward System Design Worksheet
This worksheet helps a client create a structured and effective reinforcement plan for a new.
When a client commits to a new behavior, initial enthusiasm often carries them through the first few days. The real challenge comes when that novelty wears off and the long-term benefits still feel distant. Without a concrete structure for reinforcement, the client’s effort can fizzle out, leading to frustration and a sense of failure.
This directive helps the client construct a practical and motivating reward system tailored to their specific goal. It systematically connects consistent effort with immediate, tangible incentives, making the new behavior more attractive than the old pattern. The client leaves with a clear, self-directed plan that sustains momentum long after the session ends.
