This can be an effective way for you to prevent your self from gambling. But still, even if you put an effort to do this, it still falls on you if ever you will let your urge to gamble drive-in or not even with that diary. By the end of the day, it still depends on how disciplined are you in terms of money and how you value the effort you had put to earn it.

This is a good way to tell your conscience not to gamble that much because the money that you have right now are the money that is come from your hard work and sweat. I don't have this kind of diary but I know to myself the all of my money are comes from my hard work and giving value to that is a must. We should not waste our hard earned money easily because in gambling you can lose it. Gamble only if you have extra money, and if you have save money for that purpose.

That is s literal meaning of hard earned money, and you should not gamble that amount as it will not pass on the principle of gambling which is to gambler what you can afford or just risk and extra money that will not affect you if you lose it.

I admire your dedication on your job, you'll surely achieve more in the future then maybe that is the time you can enjoy gambling, for now, just keep that discipline to stay away in gambling.

when you are working its normal to sacrifice the time and some of your effort in order for you to earn some cash  so we shouldnt really count them  .  what matter the most is that we earn x amount and we gamble x amount too .  small amount is considered small amount depending on how much you can afford   . for me 20 usd is small but 100 usd for me is the ideal bankroll to be able to playmore and earn more    . i also work hard over 8 hrs on almost every single day but i dont care as long as i gamble  because it gives me entertainment and profit if ever i got lucky

It depends on the person, there are individual that they work hard to povide their wants like vices or addiction that includes gambling. Those kinds of people are just thinking only themselves without any regret of using their money in any ways.
Even if they experience the difficulty of earning money, they still use their hard-earned money for their own accord.

In a way it is good idea beacuse at times when you are over boarding or playing too much gambling this written stuff might remind you about how hard you had made this money and how easily you can lose it . For people who play for fun might not be impacted for but addicted people this is a good idea to do it and might help them to reduce to an extent as well as it will always be reminding you about this written note .

I am not just gambling with $20 but gambling with that sacrifice of time and effort which I'll never get back.

When you decide to gambling, you will sacrifice everything ( time, family relationship and brain ). The result not always good and people have potential to come back with only " hope ". Now you have powerful reason to leave gambling, calculate again is your sacrifice worth with result if not find reason to leave and never come back again, ever.

Spending your money will always take you to that level of thinking of what you have used to attain that amount. It depends on your decision if you want to spend it on gambling or buy some items that you want to reward for your hard work.

It could be for leisure, pleasure or whatsoever of your choice. It is your money and this is just sort of decision making and affordability to spend it on anything you want.

Exactly! It it s the person's priorities in life where he want to spend his hard-earned money. So if you gamble that money, you should know the consequences. But writing how you earned that money will really help you in assessing the situation. It will give you reason not to gamble that money and spend it in quality items or experience. But if you want to have some fun, you either allot a small amount in gambling or find another avenue where you can have fun that is not involved in gambling.

Earning money is real hard and it's a no-brainer. So basically what I do is I write down in a diary of my daily income along side with what I have sacrificed for earning that amount.

Yesterday night after finishing my own assignment, I worked as a freelancer from 12am to 2 am to complete an assignment based on electrical engineering to earn $20.

I wrote down in my diary - earnt $20 - sacrificed 2 hours of sleep, 2 hours of not watching netflix and put in mental effort when mentally I was exhausted.

Now when I would have the urge to gamble with that $20, I would just see the diary and would realize I am not just gambling with $20 but gambling with that sacrifice of time and effort which I'll never get back. And it has worked for me to a certain level.

What's your opinion on this......

I think you need to understand the core principles of gambling, gambling is not all about putting in all of your earned amount ($).
When you gamble with your food, fare or budgeted allowances ($) i call it obssession.

Almost all gambling sites has it there that gamble responsibly, while some says Gamble with only your spare money.

Instead of reading your journal to define how you earned before you gamble, earn up first, save up later, then gamble at your convenience always.

Something else that I think about when I have the urge to gamble but I also know I shouldn't is something I'd like to buy myself that I can't yet afford but I can afford in time if I save whatever money I'm tempted to gamble with. If you've got something significant to work towards, that's motivation for you to keep hustling and saving instead of blowing your money on something that you'll get just a little temporary enjoyment from.

If you do give important in all of your hard work then wasting up even a penny will always have that second thoughts in mind unless if youre that addicted much then you wont really do care and playing gambling in the end of the day.

$20 might not be big for most people on here but for some it is already a big amount for you to save on specially for your living and expenses.If you do have some extra then playing isnt bad as long you dont exceed on spending way more than you are earning.

Just be on limits and if you dont like to spend money then there are lots of activities which are enjoyable or can kill off your time.

I understand you my friend, it's very hard to earn some money working at a regular job which is my case
The good side is I work with computers, and can have access to this forum and post here regularly, and earn a decent amout of money with the signature campaign, and with this money I can gamble without any regret, because it's easier and I have pleasure working here to promote a campaign

I see that you're wearing a signature too, so why not gamble with only the amount you earn?
Not all people who do earn here on this forum means that it is already an extra one, why? I do see some of them do make it already as a living.
Spending the amount in gambling wont really be a good choice if you're relying into those earning for you to live.So spending them unwisely
shouldnt really be done.Its a matter of self choice if you do gambler out the money that you had worked for the entire week.We know that it can
lost in an instant and making your entire week hard work would come to waste.

The method on op might or might not work on a certain individual because it will all always vary on persons self control.

Using sacrifice as a term is too much. 2hours of work for $20 is something that anyone can't have. You deal with it without complaint. You accept the work without complaint. If you are using that term always, then don't work. Why complaint.

On a bright note, it looks like listing your income on your diary is effective and that stays you away from doing gambling. Then just continue.

But for me, no need to do this in my case since the first place, I know why I do gambling. I know what will be the results. I also worked hard on the money I'm using on this. It's totally fine not to stop doing gambling as long as we really know what we are doing.

Not a chance, I literally write for living and sometimes I am so bored that I literally give a break on writing and start gambling to get my mind off everything, have a blank mind for a while and go back to work because otherwise I can't think straight with the million things in my mind, same with gaming, when I have a brain that is overclocking time to time (not that my brain is capable of putting 2+2 together without overclocking) I just game a bit and relax and go back to working again.

So, if you want to stay away from gambling or anything in life, find another thing to keep you busy meanwhile, something that won't hurt you, that is what I did with gaming versus gambling, when I needed to quit gambling I bought Fifa 20 (horrible decision) and played that for a while and I didn't missed gambling a bit.

What's your opinion on this......
If the money you make from your daily work uses all of it to gamble then I think you are a heavy gambling addict. Someone who likes gambling but also does not want to get into trouble in his life so he must be good at controlling the finances used for gambling.

Many people gamble for fun, not all money generated from their work is used for gambling and when they spend the time and money they make from real work for gambling, then I think it is one of gambler loss of common sense.

Sometimes awareness will make gambling addicts stop gambling but if you still want to gamble then my advice is you can use ¼ of the total money you make and it would be better in terms of maintaining your financial stability.

I don't think so if the gamblers really want to play then writing how hard he worked for earning money won't bother him or her to do what he or she wants to do. Especially for those persons that are already addicted to gambling. All things for them are nothing except betting, winning gambling is their only goals, none other than that. That's why I do not play gamble because I am afraid that I can be those people as well, that destroyed their lives because of that thing. The thing is, it is really wasted if the money you earned from hard work would disappear in gambling, the money that you worked for a long time, will disappear so fast.

If you are a beginner in gambling then I don't think that the daily money can be used up because gambling I am sure at the beginning of the first gamble you will lose and will not win because you have not how to play properly gambling.
But if you try it, just $ 20 may be enough for a start and you will get after playing gambling with the money, many suggestions here that have given you just do it well don't despair and do the best you can possible in betting your dreams can be realized.

It is about the realizatiion of how hard you earn your money,

I think it is helpful enough to restrict someone if he do this. But for me, since I am also working in real life, I have experience how really hard it is to earn money, even without writing how hard I worked to earn that money I already have the realization and easily restrict myself from gambling.
I experienced epiphany when I used to gamble whenever I had some money in my pocket. I play without even thinking how it can affect my financial status, so I take a look on how I manage myself when I gamble and it makes me realized how I easily lost my money with one mistake. After that experience, I learned to consider what I've encountered in the past to ensure that I won't be ending up again being on the exact situation. It is the reason why up until now I set my limitation and control myself properly when I gamble.
