Just got an energy drink ad that said word for word "Your body is a machine with 700 horses coursing through its veins" and while I hate advertisements this is something I can get behind

It's because they're not "tricks", they're practice. If you struggle with willpower or focus or delayed reward, you are not going to make progress improving those areas if you just indulge them all of the time.

Setting a reward for work isn't an instant fix, it's practice for setting goals and reaching them and rewarding yourself for that patience. The goal of pretending there are consequences like the mentioned gun isn't "start truly believing you are going to be shot", it's "practice feeling like there will be important consequences on tasks that you would usually not feel consequences for and put off". The closest one to a trick is the clock changing one, and even that is more a management strategy than anything else, because yeah, you know the clock is wrong, but you're being asked to act like it's right to manage punctuality.

I hate how this is framed like a gotcha to the therapist as if she's never met anyone else in her line of work that struggles with impulsivity or focus issues or whatever. If your therapist says "oh" to this kind of comment it's because she's just realized you have no idea what therapy is actually for (learning techniques that can help you manage the issues you struggle with) and have no desire to actually work on solving the problem.

Tldr yes, you COULD just give yourself the reward. Or you could actually try to work on that because you struggle with it and choose to not take the reward until you do the task even though you want the reward really badly. There's no miracle fix. You do kind of have to work at it if you want things to change.
