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......
It could work if the guy is dedicated to following that diary stuff, but we all know gamblers they have hundreds of alibis and they will always make a way to gamble, whether they have a diary or not, they can just write what if I win this $20 could become $40 in just a short period of time and on an easy way if this is my lucky night.
