I do agree that it has helped keep me motivated, hell, I even did some painting when I thought my pledge wasn't going to get done last month.
Even though my pledges are fairly small, it keeps me ticking over. I think without this added motivation I would easily lapse into surfing the internet aimlessly, as I work 8 hours a day, and then study for 3-4, so it can be pretty hard to find the motivation to pick up the brush…
Incidentally my pledge for this month is:
The rest of my honour guard (4 models)
and I also want to get my priests based, and I've got a battle force coming, so I would like to get at least some of that built.
Wow, a pretty big pledge by my standards.
