Came across this nice article with stories on rewarding others and yourself an 'A' in advance.
Article - Give yourself an 'A' today! It makes a difference.
This makes sense and I must admit that directly or indirectly I was using this before too without any thought or doubt of weighing this as a good or bad practice despite having fairly above average results in both professional and personal life. Well quite debatable as it gets sometimes, but worth a try to experience first hand.
