How to overcome the temptation to make impulsive purchases? 🌿

📋 How does it work?
Every time you're thinking about buying something, instead of immediately going to the store or pressing the "buy" button, write down:
| What do I want to buy? | Why do I think it's necessary? | Why would you refuse? |
|---|---|---|
| New water bottle | Looks stylish, discount | I already have 2 bottles that are working well. |
| Candle set | The aroma improves mood | I can use the existing ones or make tea |
| T-shirt with slogan | Emotional impulse | Need a clothing audit, not a purchase |
