I never really thought too much about this until someone mentioned it. Essentially, I was listening to how this one person was able to motivate himself better in terms of budgeting and saving money by having graphical charts of his spending and saving habits. He was saying how it allowed him to better visualize for the future on where he waned that line to grow up to and therefore was more focused in following through with his goals. This is as opposed to looking at numbers on a spreadsheet where you basically want more digits that are in the plus.
Could something that simple be a key for many others? Almost reminds me how for some people writing down their goals isn’t good enough. Instead, making like a mini poster with pictures of what they want to accomplish gives them more motivation. If it works for some it works I suppose and this isn’t exactly something that costs you a lot of money to do either.
