Part 5/8:
As part of the monk mode, Arthur is relentless in enforcing budgeting rules. A recent incident involved me purchasing a $45 cable without prior approval; a mistake that resulted in a public acknowledgment of overspending and a penalty against future rewards. This accountability has a schoolmaster-like quality, but it’s precisely the kind of structure I need to break my old habits.
Alongside budgeting principles, Arthur has also recommended exercise routines tailored to my progress. I began testing out my injured hip to see how it has healed while maintaining my daily walks. The aim is to transition back to my original 5 km goal.
