I'd like you to consider two different but related scenarios.
1. You've already begun doing an Excel homework, or writing a blog post for the class, or doing a quiz in Moodle for our class. What does thinking about your course grade at that juncture do to how you are performing in your task? Is it a distraction or an enhancement?
2. You've not yet begun doing some coursework that is due in the near future. What does thinking about your course grade do regarding getting started on the coursework?

Now I'd like you to speculate/generalize on your conclusions above. Professional athletes and movie stars typically have agents. The agents facilitate contract negotiations and also facilitate identifying the next party to negotiate with after the previous contract has expired. An agent takes a pretty hefty cut of what their client gets in the next contract. So it might seem the stars might make more money if they did these negotiations themselves. Yet that rarely, if ever, happens. Can you explain why?
