Rewards, Y/N?

A day and a half left to go!

I'm wondering if any of you use rewards -- tangible or otherwise -- as motivation for writing, and (if so) what.

Some people I know promise themselves a reward after completing a large project, like a vacation day, a book they've wanted for a long time, or something else substantial.

For me rewards seem to work best on a micro-level, i.e. when I tell myself "write for 15 minutes, and then you can read badfic/check email/other cat-vaccuuming occupation." If I complete my Yuletide first draft by tomorrow evening, I may buy myself a froofy coffee-drink Tuesday morning, but that will be about it.

How about you -- do you plan to give yourself a reward if you meet your picowrimo goals?
