What happens when you have too intimidating an alarm?

You are so focused on switching off and going back to sleep - so, though it serves the purpose of waking you up, it does not help you stay awake.

It might be a good idea to follow it up always with a softer one which will remind you that the objective is to keep awake and not switch the annoying alarm off :)

Beyond a point,

money has no value.

In fact, it shouldnt.

If there is no such point for you, you are in deep trouble.

100 days of managing finances! A rewarding system.. :)

To an organized future..

When you make a choice...

Pause and think about why exactly you made that choice.

The observations are very insightful! :)

It is much easier to criticize...

Than it is to appreciate.. but that would be missing the point.. there is always scope for improvement.. but that's not the point.. the point is to appreciate the beauty - and you can always find it if you look hard enough - of the current state. To enjoy this beauty. Then, you can go about improving it.. not because you don't you don't like the current state.. but because you love what you see in it and want to make it so much better.
