A full day 4wd course drive costs about 550 (Brisbane) A few laps on a 2 course 4wd track in Melbourne is about 320
Not exactly the same i know, but those fines seem pretty weak in comparison.
I use a technique where I play a scene out in my head. Always the same scene, always the same outcomes and the same process.
For example "Walking down a beach, see a small shell, pick it up, turn it over and notice the interesting pattern, put in pocket, go to the sea shell stored a few feet down the beach waving at a people, sell the shell, take the money and buy a small rock statue, take the statue home and place it on the window sill... etc"
The trick is make it memorable and not specifically related to your own life so you can't get side tracked subconsciously ("Oh no! I forgot to buy sea shells!!"). I find a narrative works well, and the whole thing tells a story.
The way to get started is when you are EXHAUSTED and ready to fall asleep anyway, and to repeat the same scene/steps every night from that point on. Eventually the series of images and events will tie to "sleep" in your mind and I rarely get past the first few parts of the sequence.
Essentially counting sheep! same idea really. After a while you may get bored of one story and make up another. I've gone though a half dozen over the years I guess.
I can never watch this whole video, gives me ptsd every time.
Used to work with one of those project manager types, and when we got out of the meeting afterward, and I'd tell him what we just promised was impossible.
He'd just tell me to just "draw 2 red lines" which was all they really wanted and they'd never notice the rest of the stuff wasn't there.
He was usually right, but it was still stressful, the wilfully ignorance
