Because I want to be the best at what I do. Because I want to be recognized as being above average. Because my employer will give me a raise if I pass. Because it will make me look more employable if I decide to change jobs. I recently looked at the Great Courses: Outsmart Yourself. It gives tips on how to get the most out of life. That includes how to avoid procrastination and how to make myself buckle down and keep my nose to the grindstone! To avoid procrastination: 1) do the worst thing first; 2) don't distract myself with any trivial activities; 3) think about or stare at money! So I keep a dollar bill in my desk drawer, and I open the drawer and stare at it until I'm ready to buckle down.

Best of luck as you prepare for your CAP. You got this!

Good for you!  It's great if we can all find those things to keep us focused on the end goal. With vacation time approaching for me, I'm finding it a little hard to remain "nose to the grindstone".  

You go girl!

Congratulations on taking this next step in your personal and professional development! Best wishes with your studies.

What a clever way to keep your focus. You can definitely do this. That's awesome that you have thought through so well the positive results you are going to achieve.

Congratulations! Have you gotten your results yet? It's been 32 days since the testing window ended and I haven't heard anything.
