最近睇書開始一邊睇一邊highlight重點。

以前唔捨得係上面畫，因為總覺得可以re-sell。

但其實highlight返先可以極快速由頭到尾review。

而且我鍾意有顏色，比evernote就敢打返出嚟仲好。

而且again，又係visually show到progress，可以摸淨係知道自己繼續睇落去。

成本highlight曬嘅書，即係一個「完成品」。

本人有一個非常不好嘅壞習慣，就係遲咗起身就會搭taxi返工，每次要200蚊。每一次搭完都覺得好羞恥又後悔，但依然不停repeat。如何準時返工而唔搭的士？

為咗要根治呢個壞習慣，方法如下：

1. 行去火車站要10分鐘，著返工鞋唔舒服。決定著skechers返工，擺一兩對返工鞋係公司換。
2. highlight搭火車嘅benefits，因為紅磡火車站可以買華御結，可以食美味嘅飯糰。搭車可以睇書/寫blog。
3. 係iPhone set咗screen limit, 12:20am – 6:40am 會lock screen。
4. 晚上12點開始唔玩電話，12點開始睇悶書，拉拉筋，12點半前要訓覺。
5. 早上7:00am鬧鐘開始響，7:20am最遲起身，7:50am出門。
6. 返到公司後，係calendar上用紅筆寫上「+200」作為visual evidence of progress。
7. 月尾做返個結算，其實慳咗幾多錢。
8. 返到公司後，我會whatsapp比b 講返我冇搭的士，b要講「good b」表示獎勵及監察。
9. 記住月台上車最佳位置「7-1」之後係「7-3」。
10. Uninstall taxi app.
11. 唔好ATM 拎太多cash。冇cash就冇錢搭。
12. 徹底忘記夾萬嘅密碼。
13. 新老闆嚟，唔好有「遲到」嘅identity。要同自己講，I am a person who goes to work on time. I am a person who goes to work on time. I am a person who goes to work on time.

其實仲有好多老壞習慣，例如寒背、食太多炸雞、懶得保護皮膚。 但遲到真係帶來嚴重嘅monetary loss，希望2020年可以根治，係根治，連根拔起！

估唔到呆滯嘅事情不斷發生，今日到達咗頂點，我稱之為「pinnacle of orz」。

好彩琴日玩塔羅牌，佢已經比咗啟示我今日嘅事情將會係「炒車」。
而我問有咩advice嘅時候，出現咗呢隻牌 – 星幣九 Nine of Pentacles。

位悠閑的婦女在花園里散步，氣質賢淑溫文爾雅的她，垂著的右手下是幾枚放著的金幣，象征著一切物質面的東西。圖中可見她左背上立著一只聽命于她的獵鷹，獵鷹是生活中一切黑暗粗魯東西的象征，表明婦人已經成功地控制住了，不再為沖動和欲望所動。

應該就是「我可以好grace地hold得住」吧。
