One question though. Since this is proceeding should I read further? or only concentrate on the last minute technique?
Keep reading further, as Cadet always cites: "knowledge is power", but re-read the LRT, and re-read, and re-read. Be able to cite it.
Also: Notice your 180 (cleaning room) has been noticed. Keep it going. This is not just a one time demonstration, this is a change for YOU for the better.
And the dishes were a great #5 (chapter 6) you experimented, and saw a positive result. Try some more, if you get positive results, keep them going, if negative, end the behavior.
Another potential experiment: you seem to recognize you just "spend spend spend". Work on that as a 180?
