Good Ideas That Somehow Backfire

 

1. The New Alarm

I decided I needed a better alarm clock because I had developed a bad habit of hitting snooze every morning.

So I bought one of those alarm clocks that slowly gets louder and louder until you finally get out of bed.

The first morning, it worked perfectly.

The alarm started quietly.

Then it got louder.

Then louder.

Finally, I jumped out of bed and turned it off.

I felt proud of myself.

The next morning, I woke up before the alarm and smiled.

“I've finally trained myself to wake up early,” I thought.

Then I realized why.

The alarm clock was still going off.

I had simply moved it across the room the night before and forgotten to turn it off.

Apparently, I hadn't developed better sleeping habits. I'd just developed a fear of my alarm clock.

2. The Healthy Snack

I decided to stop eating unhealthy snacks at work, so I bought a large bag of healthy nuts and kept them in my desk drawer.

Whenever I felt hungry, I planned to eat a small handful instead of reaching for biscuits or chocolate.

It sounded like a great plan.

The problem was that I really liked the nuts.

I ate some in the morning.

Then a few more before lunch.

Then another handful in the afternoon.

By the end of the day, I had eaten almost the entire bag.

The next morning, I opened my desk drawer and realized there were no nuts left.

I stared at the empty bag and thought about my healthy decision.

Then I walked to the vending machine and bought chocolate.

I hadn't eliminated my snack problem. I'd simply given it a healthier opening act.

3. The Helpful Spreadsheet

I decided to organize my monthly expenses, so I created a spreadsheet.

I made columns for rent, food, transportation, entertainment, subscriptions, and miscellaneous expenses.

Then I added formulas so everything would calculate automatically.

I even created a colorful little summary showing exactly where my money was going.

I was extremely proud of myself.

Then I looked at the final total.

I checked the numbers twice.

I checked the formulas.

Everything was correct.

My monthly spending was much higher than I thought.

I sat quietly for a moment, staring at the screen.

Then I closed the spreadsheet.

A few minutes later, I opened it again and changed the font.

If I couldn't afford to fix my finances, at least I could make the spreadsheet look professional.
