Outlast Your Impulses

I’m insanely impulsive. I want. Things. Now.

A simple trick has slowed me down—setting a 10-minute timer. Every time I feel that impulsive feeling (to eat that extra snack or send that emotional email), I turn on my phone’s timer. At the end of 10-minutes, I am free to do what I want. However, I’ve found that usually what I want has changed.

I’m a big believer in controlling what you can control, and sometimes we can’t control our impulses. But, we can control whether we set the timer.


Try it and let me know what impact it has for you.
