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's true that earning money is very hard. Since we cannot get any money by just sitting. You really need to sacrifice something. I think, even though you jot down your hard work in earning those money. If you are in the urge of playing a gambling and you are tempted. You will definitely play gamble, especially when you can't control yourself.
