Household

Habits around the house that I tried but just didn't take hold.

Alarms for waking

• • resent having sleep interrupted

  • never feel like I've slept enough

Alarms that work:

• • External accountability!

    • appointments in the morning with people.

    • time expected at work in the morning.

    • scheduled events, such as a flight or meetup

Household habits kept:

• • saving pennies, nickels and dimes in a jar, then rolling them up and taking them to the bank for deposit, usually going towards debt or savings

    • it's chump change

    • things I like to tell myself about why I do it

      • removes the coins from circulation (or maybe it re-enables circulation!)

      • it "adds up" (not really, at most $20 per jar, my time is better spent working)

      • gives me something to do while watching TV
