Block off your payday on the calendar. Go to bed at a normal hour. Wake up, check your phone, and if the money is there, do a little dance. If it’s not, go make a tea. It will show up before lunch. I promise.
And if it doesn’t? Well, that’s a story for another article—the one titled “Why I Broke My Phone Out of Financial Anxiety.” But for now, relax. The DLA gremlins are just slow. They always deliver.
So go on, put the phone down. Your bank balance is not a drama. It’s just a number that will change. Eventually. Probably by 6 AM.
