Tricks are for Kids

I was just thinking about how we like to trick ourselves alot. For example setting the alarm thirty minutes before you actually need to get up so you can press snooze 5 times and trick yourself into thinking that those extra snoozes were your ticket to wakefulness all day.
Or setting the clock ten minutes ahead. How does that work!? Every time id look at it I would just factor in that time. Okay I need to leave at 9 clock says 9.... im not leaving, im so wasting ten minutes doing something else.
Hiding the clock at the gym, okay this one kind of works but there is alot of other stuff I need to see on that screen! Sometimes I just try to divert my eyes from seeing it. Kinda hard, i'm always disappointed when I look at the cardio machine clock.
Writing in font ten so that when you change it to twelve you magically have 3 extra pages done.
Parking on the right side of the street so when you turn the car on there's still gas.
Its kinda funny to think that we think we can trick ourselves even though we know the truth.
