I think that rewards for to-dos should model an inverse bell curve, where you are rewarded a high amount for getting a habit done quickly, and you are rewarded less as time progresses but at some point you begin to be rewarded more as an insentive to complete a task that might not be particularly pleasant to you (and why you're holding out). However I think that the amount you are rewarded immediately should be the highest amount, and the amount you are rewarded if you wait a very long time should be substantial enough to encourage completion, but not so substantial that it encourages procrastination. Might need to play around with it a bit to get it just right
