One biggie for me was years ago when a friend mentioned that she always gift wrapped gifts on the day that she bought them instead of waiting till Christmas Eve and having to spend hours wrapping gifts when there were so many other things to be doing. This was life altering for me when I adopted this habit. I later noticed that not only did she do wrapping earlier, but also she shopped for presents for friends and family throughout the year instead of waiting last minute and buying in a panic.
7:58 I thought about things that I shall not do for my future self to stop annoying her! - Impulse purchases for my present self that my future self would have to manage and then later declutter. - buying sweet foods for my present self that my future self would be tempted to eat when that food is in the pantry. - starting some craft project or some recipe that requires a lot of cleaning that my future self would have to do.

That is such a good idea! I bet my future self would appreciate not having to do all the wrapping at the last minute!
Future self needs me to start working out again!
This is a very timely video with energy levels starting to flag one week before Christmas. Thank you Jamie.
I’m so glad it was helpful ❤️
