I think the effects of time travel would change lotto numbers, which is why I went with stocks. Pseudo-random events like lottery numbers picks would be extremely sensitive to "noise" introduced by disturbances in the time flow. Can you imagine how annoyed your past self would be if he bought $1000 worth of tickets and lost?

I wonder how effective telling yourself *not* to do things would be, though? If it were me - and granted, you might be a lot less pigheaded than I am - I would rationalize in the vein of "well, now that I know she's a total psycho, I have the upper hand as she doesn't know that I know she's a psycho."
