Stupid Ideas

Online shopping?
If you see a space asking for coupon code, google it before you check out.

Rent or buy? (When you have the choice of course)
Before you buy, estimate the life span of this item and the time period of you willing to use it, divide the price of this item by whichever time is less. If it turns out more expensive than renting, rent.

Credit card, savings or cash?
Cash is preferred for grocery and everyday shopping if you feel like you are spending too much, as you don't see the money gone if you are using a card, you hand that card out, signed your name/keyed the pin and the card came back with one more receipt! When buying something big though, you might want to use the credit card to avoid seeing your money go.

Assignment due days...
Divide the word count by the number of days left til the due day, and aim at writing that much per day. If it's tomorrow, ask for extension...

Planning ahead?
In my case this never worked. If a plan is made to be broken why even waste time on it?

Making your bed?
Waste of time! It's gonna get messy anyway when you get back on it tonight.
