I love this idea so much “ making a list that I will allow to sit for a week “. Am sure many of us will see that after a week, most items on that list will not be under “Scale Of Preference “
My long term system of buyings that has helped me a lot is “Scale Of Preference”. Buying the Immediate Needs”.
We all do have desire for more, but discipline has kept me on track.
Scale of Preference/Immediate Needs is how I write my list, too. One side is groceries I want to get next time I go to the store. The other side is long term things that aren't urgent. Sometimes I end up deciding against the long term things after a while.
Of course. That is a very good strategy to let go off things that are not pressing.
Another tip here for me. Blessings 😇.
