Notes:

Make sure you really know what this question means. Think it through, what it means to trick oneself. Some examples might be:

  • You know you're supposed to be on a diet, but chocolate bars don't really count
  • It's OK to stay up late although you need the sleep because you haven't seen this movie yet
  • You'll go to the gym *tomorrow*, really you will
  • You know that item isn't on your budget for this month, but *it's on sale*, and. . . .

Take the first one that comes to mind. When you have one in mind, don't chew on it at all, just click the Yes option.
