FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Productivity Boost" published March 15, 2020 - Andy: Aren't you supposed to be working on your history paper? Peter: I'm taking a break. Every time I write a certain number of words, I reward myself with a 10-minute snack break. I find it really boosts my productivity. Welp, break time's over... back to work! Anyway, as I was saying... Andy: What are you doing?! Taking a break after each word?! Peter: Trust me, it's still a productivity boost.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Capital Punishment" published September 22, 2019 - Jason: As you enter the dungeon, you see before you an elderly woman.

Marcus: Carson City. Jason: "What is the capital of Pennsylvania?" Marcus: Philadelphia? Jason: WRONG! She shapeshifts into a demon, plunges a fist into your chest and rips out your heart! Marcus: Ouch. Teacher: About the way you two study for tests... Jason: It helps us get extra-motivated. Marcus: You see before you an elderly woman...

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Maximum Something" published May 21, 2017 - Jason says: Should you be studying for final exams? Peter says: I'm trying something new. I've come to the realization that I'm one of those people who who works better under pressure. When I study and prepare too much, I get too relaxed. I lose my edge. Remember last year when I bombed that "Hamlet" test? I think it's because I actually read half of the play. I wasn't sufficiently panicked. This year I'm going into finals completely cold. No reading or prep of any sort. Maximum fear. Maximum adrenaline. Maximum performance. Jason says: When does your report card come? I want to be sure to make popcorn. Peter says: To toss like confetti? Andy says: Peter, why aren't you studying?!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Motivational Tools" published May 22, 2016 - Jason: Study for finals are I'll whap you with this stick. Paige: What?!? Jason: You said you weren't feeling very motivated, so I'm trying to help. Paige: By threatening me with a stick?! Jason: Look, there are two general approaches to motivating someone: sticks and carrots. Some people respond really well to sticks. Clearly not you. Paige: Clearly. Jason: Study for finals are I'll whap you with this carrot. Paige: Bring back the stick. I need it for a sec.
