Did I already want or need this thing? Where will I store it? Do I have a track record of getting good use out of/using up similar things? + expert advice from Dr Melissa Norberg.
This is so thoughtful and timely. I was thinking today ‘what do I want to buy to take advantage of Black Friday’ which is probably not the right approach at all. This has made me pause for thought and consider if I do actually *need* anything.
Oh goodness, noticing how ‘good’ some deals/sales are and then hunting for something to want is a classic!!! But I never feel great about those purchases, and they’re never the items that stick around and provide the most joy/use/value over time. Hard habit to break, though. I’m so glad this helped!
