Grounding with a spanking proves to be effective once again

I wrote a story a while back about being spanked and grounded. Well it happened again for a different reason. I got a severe paddling for forgetting to get my meds filled. I was also grounded for a week. Which kind of intertwines with my laat story about being lazy and needing incentive to do my chores.
During my grounding, rules are: no internet, no TV, no talking to friends or going out with friends. And sometimes a spanking every night. Or a long hard spanking the last day of grounding.
The thing is... I got so many chores accomplished everyday of my grounding. I didn't have the distraction of TV or YouTube or TikTok. I listened to my book and cleaned, did laundry, gut cleaned the kitchen and the bathrooms. He was so proud of me for all I was doing.
So we implemented a new rule that starts tomorrow. No TV or Internet until he gets home from work, or if he works late, I stop at 4:30. Obviously this isn't set in stone. It's just what we both think is best for now. I'm still allowed to talk on the phone, and spend time with friends.
I am hoping this truly helps to change my behavior, and bad habits. We will wait and see.
