Thanks for your input! I used custom rewards successfully for about one week but found it difficult to stick to them. Maybe I just started too hard. I hate the idea of there being a smart feature that exists which I can't figure out how to leverage in my favor...

The way I was using the custom rewards was almost as more of a tracking/limiting tool for distracting behaviors than punishment/reward system. EG: If I only had 40 GP and it cost me 10 GP to watch a youtube video (and I was being consistent and using my rewards correctly) then I could watch 4 videos and have to get something else done in order to have enough GP to watch another one. When it was working it worked really well! But I got lazy about making sure I was paying my custom rewards.
