Not a weird hack, nor I'm considering it a hack lol but for me, personally, it helped me plan out how my normal day will go and separate the money I get from my savings, subscriptions and other personal expenses.

I know it's not weird or a hack but hey, it helps you create a system for yourself wherein you achieve on all aspects (diet, saving money, vacations, goals and stuff you wanna buy). It's quite easy but the hard part is the consistency and discipline.
