Earning money is real hard and it's a no-brainer. So basically what I do is I write down in a diary of my daily income along side with what I have sacrificed for earning that amount.
Yesterday night after finishing my own assignment, I worked as a freelancer from 12am to 2 am to complete an assignment based on electrical engineering to earn $20.
I wrote down in my diary - earnt $20 - sacrificed 2 hours of sleep, 2 hours of not watching netflix and put in mental effort when mentally I was exhausted.
Now when I would have the urge to gamble with that $20, I would just see the diary and would realize I am not just gambling with $20 but gambling with that sacrifice of time and effort which I'll never get back. And it has worked for me to a certain level.
What's your opinion on this......
You don't have to gamble all those $20 but you can gamble a small portion of it, I'm not encouraging you to gamble but giving you a clear picture that a gamble can still gamble at even a small amount, because most gambling casinos, do not have minimum bet in fact I once allocated only $2 and still have the fun that I want but of course not the profit.
