I read that book and was inspired as well, but I think in a different way than you. I didn't schedule my bill payments, I scheduled my savings. I realized I wasn't adequately paying myself first. Sure, we saved, but we could do so much better.
I started this about 2 months ago and the amount flowing into our savings account alone has quadrupled each month, we also managed to set aside $380 into our stock brokerage acct and $360 into a Roth every month. I didn't contribute anything to those before I sat down and automated. And the weird thing? We don't really miss the money. I have no idea where it was going before.
The bills? I still pay them as they arrive, as usual.
