Episode notes
Stop Procrastination Spending
- Avoid 'procrastin-spending' by doing the task before shopping for tools or gear.
- Replace shopping as avoidance with small actions that give real dopamine instead of purchases.
Automate Savings First
- Save first by automating contributions rather than saving what’s left over.
- Treat saving as intentional habit work, not an afterthought to spending.
Start Investing Early
- Start investing now, even with small amounts, to benefit from time in the market.
- Build the habit of investing and increase contributions over time.
