a budgeting video changed how i shop now

Watched a random budgeting video last week and the only part that stuck was the cart thing: put what you want in the cart and just leave it there for a while before buying, not becuase you’re broke but because the urge fades once you stop staring at it. I’ve been doing this since I started my budget sheet again, and it’s kind of annoying how often it works! Half my cart from last week is still sitting there untouched, so I guess that counts as proof. Turns out the hard part was never the spreadsheet, it was just waiting a beat before clicking buy.
