So I had to take that off, but just, you know, small things, not saving your credit card details, putting those like logical obstacles in.

There's a site, a few sort of plugins and websites that you can block URLs from.

which is really helpful on your work computer or whatever.

If you're scrolling on certain websites, the iconic or something like that, you can actually block them so you can't get into them.

You need to have the self-control to not turn them back on again.

But sometimes that can be helpful if that's something you find yourself doing.

was going towards this feeling and kind of thinking about that quite broadly.

You know, we set goals and we have a vision for what it is we're trying to achieve or why we're trying to get out of debt or whatever, but you can do it on the inverse as well.

And sort of, you're thinking about when you set goals, you have to think about what you want to achieve by doing these actions, but you can actually spend some time and write it out if that's your thing, thinking about what would happen, like what's the reality you're avoiding?

Like what is not your vision?

And when you connect every time you tap your card to that, you know, that vision of being 30 and still being in debt and everyone buying houses and you still paying off a credit card because of this feeling, you can sort of,
