And I see Divinity: Original Sin is on sale and immediately get pumped. A few months ago it was on sale, but I didn’t feel out was prudent to spend more money on games right that second, so I put it off. In fact, I put it off to today. Basically, as a means of controlling spending, if I want to delay a purchase, I set a complex trigger. In this case the next time (specific game) was at most (this price, often just “on sale”) through this establishment (humble for charity, gog for no drm, steam if I don’t care). This trigger was met today, which means I just buy it. No stress.
Now, here’s the thing. I’m stopped because I set a decision half a dozen months ago, and I’m going to follow through. For personal projects, I’ve tried the reward method before, but someone (including myself) dangles a carrot, I kick the carrot. I wonder if I could make triggers for the things I should do.
Peter's stuff.
