Abstract
When I was an engineering graduate student, I regularly disappointed myself. Rather than get my schoolwork done, I'd crawl under a blanket with a juicy novel or thriller. Later, after I finally turned to studying and finished my problem sets, I couldn't get myself to exercise. Then one day it hit me: What if I only let myself enjoy page-turners while working out? I tried it, and practically overnight, I stopped wasting time when I should have been studying. Instead, I started craving trips to the gym to discover what would happen next in whatever novel had me engrossed. Not only that, I enjoyed the novels and workouts more combined—I didn't feel guilty reading, and time flew at the gym.
