#24: Don’t Feed Your Impulses
These days, we have gotten so used to the idea of instant gratification. If we see something we like, it is almost as if we have to have it instantly. And whilst there is merit in allowing ourselves guilty pleasures every now and then, it has gone far beyond just being a simple guilty pleasure.
The next time you find yourself flipping through online pages of stores, filling up your basket with things you really don’t need, try this trick. Apparently, we are all much more likely to act on impulse in the evening than in the morning. So if you still want to purchase that thing you so desperately needed last night in the morning, then go ahead.
