Got a bad habit or two you want to break? Blogger Buster Benson has a simple solution: just make your friends charge you $1 for every time they catch you engaging in your bad habits.

This idea isn’t really anything new, of course. We’ve all heard of using a “swear jar” or something similar to curb certain behaviour, but Buster’s solution is self-induced. He had four habits he wanted to break (excessive complaining, gossiping, junk food, and alcohol), so he established the $1 rule with all of his friends and asked them to keep him accountable. If any of them catch him partaking in any of those habits, they call him out and get a dollar in return. Everyone wins, and you’ll probably break that habit pretty quickly if you adopt the same method.
If you’re a little short on cash, we’ve shared lots of other ways to break those bad habits, too — from using a webcam to programming your day. Hit the link to read more about Buster’s approach.
