- The 30-day rule
When you desire a big purchase, do not buy it right away.
Give yourself 30 days and ask yourself if you still want it just as much as you did earlier.
If you do, go for it.
Chances are you won’t.
- Keep a gratitude jar
Everyday, before going to bed, write down something that you are grateful for.
Anything at all.
Place it in the jar.
- In moments of weakness, go through the notes.
Always ask “by when do you need this?”
Whenever given a task, even if an order, always check for the deadline.
Very often we have a different definition of urgency in our minds.
