Habithack: Lose your wallet
Just as the title says, you have to lose your wallet. This doesn’t mean throw it off a bridge (just yet) but you have to stop carrying it around. Do you realize how much useless items are in your wallet? I’m sure you don’t. Most people have a card for everything, pictures of everybody they’ve ever met, random ticket stubs and god knows what else. Do you really need to be carrying around a card telling people you’re FBI (Female Body Inspector)? I’ll let you know the answer is no.
Before you go out think about what you know you need, not what you ‘might need’. That will be the big time saver here. I find that the main needs are: Photo ID, Secondary ID/medicare, Debit card, Credit card, cash. For such a small list you surely don’t need to carry around a huge wallet that makes your ass look big.
If you find yourself unable to get rid of all your photos, just get rid of most of them. Wallets usually have that plastic booklet that people put pictures and cards in, start taking just that with you if you must. But in retrospect you don’t need to carry around a lot of pictures, the chances of you ending up on an island by yourself with only your memories is slim.
Once you have yourself cut down, now you can throw your wallet off a bridge. Remember to try and hit the guy in the sailboat for me!
