Back in 2019, I knew a developer who coded from a beach in Bali. He bragged about the 'digital nomad' life but spent most days fixing bugs instead of surfing. Setting actual office hours probably would have saved his tan.

Jars beat bags every time. That 'shrinking trash and spending' line hits home. Started doing the jar thing last year. My grocery bills dropped like a rock. Also makes you realize how much crap you don't need. Forced me to meal plan, which cut impulse buys.
