Track yourself for a MINIMUM of 24 hours. You will be better off and have more to write about if you track yourself for 48 hours or more. You can use the table below (add more lines as necessary) or create your own method for tracking. You are tracking several things:

1. Write down every moment where you are being sold something where there's an option or suggestion or temptation to spend money (hint: if youre on social media, your moments should be plentiful)
2. After the time period is complete, look at each of these moments. Assess two items for each instance:

• Write down and explain what kind of incentive, nudge or cognitive bias was at work on you
• Analyze whether the incentiveudge/cognitive bias would have served your best interest compared to thinking through the decision rationally
