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......
Earning money is really hard also in gambling because playing on it is very risky . Still be thankful that you earn money even that is $20 and that is good amount. Because count to think of it let's say that you spend 2 hours in gambling and you lose that is not good so if you win what ever the time you consume it still okay and good to you that you include your gambling journey in your diary.
