Who it's for
Adults with ADHD, and anyone who tends to buy first and regret it later.
What's inside
- The Impulse Spending Shield: a five-question flowchart. Need or want? Can it wait 48 hours? Is this hyperfocus buying? What feeling is behind it? Will I remember it in 30 days?
- ADHD Money Mantras: eight short, shame-free lines for the moments money stress hits
How to use it
- Keep the Shield next to where you shop: the desk, the fridge, or a photo on your phone.
- Run every unplanned purchase through it. Most impulse buys stop at question two.
- Pin the mantras somewhere you'll see them on hard money days.
