What you actually do first
- Day 1: choose deliberately — Week 1 · step 1 of 90 · 89 to go. Name the trigger before the purchase, not after the refund window closes. Use the category cap, replacement rule, and cooling-off list set during setup.
- Day 2: choose deliberately — Week 1 · step 2 of 90 · 88 to go. Send today’s want to the cooling-off list and put a date on it. Use the category cap, replacement rule, and cooling-off list set during setup.
- Day 3: choose deliberately — Week 1 · step 3 of 90 · 87 to go. Use something you already own in the category you paused. Use the category cap, replacement rule, and cooling-off list set during setup.
- Day 4: choose deliberately — Week 1 · step 4 of 90 · 86 to go. Notice which purchase was really about mood, not need. Use the category cap, replacement rule, and cooling-off list set during setup.
- Day 5: choose deliberately — Week 1 · step 5 of 90 · 85 to go. Unsubscribe from one thing that exists to make you buy. Use the category cap, replacement rule, and cooling-off list set during setup.
- Day 6: choose deliberately — Week 1 · step 6 of 90 · 84 to go. Check the cooling-off list — cross off anything you no longer want. Use the category cap, replacement rule, and cooling-off list set during setup.
- Day 7: choose deliberately — Week 1 · step 7 of 90 · 83 to go. Move the avoided money somewhere it is hard to casually spend. Use the category cap, replacement rule, and cooling-off list set during setup.
