What are some things that I can use money to buy that will help the most with building discipline and being productive?

You want to spend it. Practice discipline by investing or saving it. Open a ROTH IRA, throw it in a savings account but buy nothing. Practice discipline.

I practiced discipline by making a spreadsheet where I meticulously documented my finances. Every time I bought something, even a candy bar, I had to add that expenditure to the spreadsheet, and categorize it between Bills, Car, Food, Housing or Luxury.

By forcing myself to justify every purchase to myself, I was able to get a better idea of how much control I truly had over myself. I subsequently became more mindful of what I spent my money on, which has helped me a lot over the years.

Screw video games. Of course they are fun but try to spend less time on that and put your time and money into hobbies that you can enjoy and are more interesting to women. Better even if they are physical ones that help keep you in shape. No woman wants to hear a guy talk about video games.

Use it to buy healthy food and start meal prepping.

Use it to buy some new outfits and a nice haircut.

Bar dumbells and a bench

Neurofeedback therapy will make a huge impact. But a good course of it will be pretty costly ($2-3k or more). Still I definitely think it’s worth it, and you’ll start to see the benefits after just a few sessions.

It’s like meditation on steroids. It’s one of the rawest forms of “self improvement” that you can invest in imo.

More of a personal preference but I stand behind notebooks/planners. Great way to keep records in the metoo era.keeps you conscientious of your life.
