<prompt> Human: Recently, I had noticed that whenever I go to the gym which is a walk from my office I end up buying a coffee and a cookie on the way back about 5. I also noticed that I have no ambition to do this when I leave for the gym, so I started leaving my wallet at the office as I go to the gym, so even when my mind is screaming at me to get a coffee and cookie, I simply cant. The profound disappointment only lasts about 2 minutes.Do any of you use techniques to trick yourselves into spending less?  <response>: I do zero days. I like to plan out my weekly to-do list on a whiteboard every Sunday, so at that time I also choose at least two weekdays to be zero days. On zero days I spend 0 and have zero alcoholic drinks. This takes a bit of planning to make sure I have enough groceries, gas, etc. to get through those days, but it makes an easy commitment to myself every week. Im obsessed with checking stuff off lists, and writing it down helps convince myself to do it. Its really helped me eliminate random spending and fuck it, Ill have a beer moments.
