How to manage the Diderot Effect

It is possible to curb impulse buying and move to mindful consumption.

• Beware of the shiny object syndrome. When you want to buy something, ask if you need it. What real advantage will you gain?
• Create spending limits. Create a strict budget. Avoid taking loans for anything but big essential purchases.
• Avoid consumption triggers by going to the park instead of the shopping centre, unfollow brands on social media, and removing shopping apps.
