Giving oneself a small reward after completing a task helps in what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Maintaining motivation
A small, reasonable reward after a completed task can reinforce the desired behaviour and make continued effort more likely. It works best when the task is genuinely completed and the reward is healthy, limited, and not a new source of distraction. It does not inherently spoil work, make a person forget time, or require abandoning the larger goal.
