"Self-discipline gives me freedom", probably brainwashed too hard by this sentence, for a while, I especially wanted to be self-disciplined and make myself better!
In order to achieve this goal, I began to buy and buy like crazy, and it turned out that I bought a lot of things, but self-discipline is still a slogan!
Now looking at these "waste products", I really can't help but laugh, not only did they not make me self-disciplined, but became a burden to my family, since then I also understand that self-discipline is an internal drive, and it has nothing to do with external objects.
I've bought these wastes, they're useless, and if you haven't bought them yet, don't buy them!
1. Lock the mobile phone artifact
In order to make myself play less with my mobile phone, I actually searched for the topic of "how to cut off my phone", but I didn't expect someone to recommend this lock mobile phone artifact.
It's something like a box, you can buy it for dozens of dollars, after the phone is put in, set the time according to the demand, the time is not enough, the phone can't be taken out, but a machine has a total of five chances to be unlocked.
I used it quite slippery for the first week.,Locked it up every time I studied.,But in the second week, I started to hold on a little bit.,In less than three days.,All five unlocking opportunities were used up.,And then the artifact became garbage.。
I still don't know where it went.
Actually,This thing is completely unnecessary,Almost all mobile phones have a focus mode,It's the same effect after opening,If you really want to learn,It's easier and more convenient to adjust the phone to do not disturb or turn it off。
2. All kinds of fitness equipment
How excited I was to buy it at the beginning, and how panicked I am when I look at it now!
The treadmill has been on the job for a month, and it has been reduced to a drying rack for two years in the later stage!
Yoga mat, I didn't use it a few times, and I was scratched by a cat.
Spinning bikes, when I was looking for someone to move back, are now tearfully sent to sell scrap iron.
All kinds of yoga clothes, sportswear, and sneakers are outdated and haven't been worn a few times, every time I turn them out, I want to laugh when I look at them, and it's a pity to throw them away!
It is recommended that if you really want to exercise, don't worry about spending money and stick to running for a month.
3. Self-discipline APP members
In order to keep everything organized, I even bought a membership of the self-discipline app.
Its four-quadrant management rule reminds me every day that I should plan my time reasonably, and write it down one night in advance if it is urgent, important, postponeable, and not urgent, and implement it the next day.
Later, I found out that my daily things are fixed, and I deal with them at the moment when I am in a hurry, and I don't need to remind myself all the time when I am not in a hurry.
Moreover, when I am busy, I don't have time to open the app to check what I did and what I didn't.
Slowly, its presence is getting lower and lower, and now the app is too lazy to open it.
In fact, the most convenient way to record work is to stick sticky notes, paste them in front of the computer, and cross out one item after completing it, which is much better than the self-discipline app.
4. Books that awaken self-discipline
I really want to laugh when I see these self-disciplined books on the shelves!
What "Cognitive Awakening", "Control Habits", "Becoming a Scary Person with Self-Discipline", "The Miracle of Getting Up Early", "Self-Control", "Procrastination Psychology", "Micro Habits", "Cognitive Drive", "Pomodoro Technique Illustration", etc., in order to drive themselves, I really bought a lot.
But because of my lack of self-discipline, I also read one or two of these books, and the others have not been opened for 2 years.
I advise everyone, suddenly want to be self-disciplined, don't buy a bunch of books, one by one, and buy them after reading, although the price is a little more expensive than buying in a package, but in case you don't want to read it, you will lose less.
5. Body fat scale
It is a scale that can measure the body fat percentage by standing on it barefoot, and the price is more expensive than the general one, one or two thousand.
I bought it because I thought I could monitor my diet, measure my body fat regularly, and control my weight in time.
But later I found out that the high and low body fat rate did not affect my meal at all, I went out to eat when I was in a bad mood, and I also went out to eat when I was in a good mood.
Moreover, I later saw many professionals share that the data measured by the body fat scale is not accurate at all, and you can understand one or two by looking at your own fat and thin.
Therefore, if you plan to buy a body fat scale, don't buy it, just buy an ordinary scale for a few dozen yuan.
Summary at the end of the article
Through these "waste" experiences, I have come to understand that for ordinary people, self-discipline is really not bought by buying, sometimes putting yourself in a kind of "no way back", "extremely strong desire and fear", this kind of self-forced self-discipline may be much better than the effect of your consumption alone.
After all, many people who are super self-disciplined are forced into a certain situation, and "having to" is the foundation of self-discipline.
