What is that item going to do for me?
And then you can think, do I already have that in place?
Do I have something at home?
Do I have five of those items that are sitting unused and this is just a new feature?
It allows you to think more critically about the purchase.
That is a very easy trap to fall into.
And the trick is I've coined the phrase.
try before you buy, not in the sense of marketing where they allow you to try before you buy it, but you need to prove to yourself that you are going to use the item before you even have the item in your possession.
So the best example is like working out, gym clothes.
We think I'm going to work out, so you go out and buy all the gym clothes.
Instead of buying before you actually try working out in your life,
prove to yourself that A, I can keep my commitment to work out and B, you prove how many times you're actually going to fill it.
And then you say, okay, if I am consistently working out three times a week, then what do I need to fill that habit, that ritual that I've already created?
And so you need to ask yourself, if I buy this item, will I be able to implement it to date?
And if not, it's often not because you need the appliances.
It's because you need the system.
You need it actually in your life.
And that rule applies to everything.
It actually, it's what kept me on track to not buy the fancy digital calendar I wanted three years ago.
I was so, it was Black Friday and it was the fancy calendar.
