I noticed a decrease in the frequency of my lies in 2 situations:
1. Necessary lies: When I do interact with people in complicated deals that involve money. I always take harsh positions nowadays: do what I want now or go away!
2. Unnecessary lies: Most of the times, I noticed that I lied because I was afraid of the consequence if I were to say the truth. However, I did not really need to lie.
There is one simple way to avoid unnecessary lies: Always anticipate and accept the negative consequence of an answer. It takes however a lot of self-control and, of course, time to do so. You do not have time in real-life interactions therefore I try to make people talk a bit longer to allow myself to think.
