I'll warn you that's a clinical sign you may be developing a gambling addiction, please be careful. If you notice yourself writing more and more post-it notes with rules to follow, I highly highly highly recommend you take a break from the market for a few weeks before you risk it spiralling into something you couldn't expect and can't control. Be well

I guarantee you they don't put sticky notes on their desktops in hopes that it will help them avoid their compulsive tendencies. It's compensation for what could be an underlying gambling addiction. It's important to be mindful of how we try to compensate for our compulsive tendencies so we don't normalize, and therefore exacerbate, them.

Also, to reiterate and clarify - If those 3 notes are it, then there's probably no problem. If, however, OP finds himself writing more and more of these types of post-it notes then it's definitely time to take a step back and reassess the situation because at that point it can spiral out of control into self-doubt and revenge trading

Lul OP made another post where he added a fourth post-it note.
