Irish,
That there is pretty good advice. Make things difficult.
You and I think alike. Hey! Why take an easy way when it can be designed to be harder?
I've never considered putting things in ice. Now that is really "thinking outside the box".
Make things inconvenient, a new topic for my non-motivational book.
I think that in that chapter, I'll include "amaze your friends with the hidden toilet paper trick", "things you learn from locking your keys in your car", and
"investing with bank optons from Nigeria".
Some people just try too hard. Giving up is the way to go.
