10 is the motivating number

Whenever I do something and I know I should be doing something else, I count to ten. Like cleaning my room instead of doing my homework. So I’ll say ok, I’ll clean ten objects and then I’ll do my homework. Or when I really should go to work but I am making a cd I’ll say ok I’ll add ten more songs. And it’s not just objects, if I exercise and get tired I’ll repeatedly count to ten around me. Ten people, ten ellipticals, ten water bottles.. it’s awful!

Thanks for realizing I am not the only crazy counter in the world… (Btw: Counting my steps to 100 repeatedly. Same with stairs…)

Ten fingers. Ten toes. A base ten numerical sytem (decimal). This is the reason we love ten.
