I’m a serial impulse buyer.

It’s thankfully not with large purchases, but often online orders totalling around £10-20 a time. Usually second hand clothes or Amazon. In the shops I always come home with about 5 random items of food I’ve bought for fun….

In these expensive times it’s a really frustrating trait and I welcome all tips to limit spending and be better with £££

Love this. Doing now.

For grocery shopping, go after you eat if you can. Stick primarily to the perimeter of the store. Make a list ahead of time and don’t get anything else on it. If you want, you can add 1 “wildcard” item to that list, nothing else.

Omg I do this too.

My trick. It works most of the time.

Put everything in your cart throughout the week. Only select one day that you make the purchase. When reviewing the cart, if you don’t remember putting it in the cart, delete it. You won’t miss it. If you still want it but don’t NEED it or can’t see using it immediately, put it in your favorited items. You can usually go back for it if you change your mind.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!

It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
