For problem categories like takeout, cash or a prepaid card can help. When it is gone, it is gone. Simple but effective.

A weekly 10-minute check works better for me than tracking every coffee. I look at account balances, upcoming bills and whether I need to slow spending.

Use three buckets: bills, savings and spending. Automate bills and savings first, then the remaining money is what you can spend.
