All these are accurate for me except I've graduated the chair to an over-sized under-bed drawer, all my bills are automated, and I have a car that has a proximity key so it always stays in my pocket (and I wear the same pants for a couple weeks on end).

But yeah, those are just learned coping mechanisms.

Automated bills is a weird one for me. I absolutely know they'd be useful to keep me from forgetting important things, but I manage to talk myself out of it as I'd "lose awareness" of where my money goes.

... I need to stop making excuses, huh?

Your bank should allow you to setup autopay alerts, I get them pretty regularly for mine (email stating 'your auto pay to COMPANY is pending for $xxxx on yy/zz') but I also don't read them. And I have a budget setup so I know where that money is going to go this week anyway. And I check my accounts weekly to pay off my credit card so I see it there as well. Mainly because I have a reminder to do so.
