I’m sure that would probably be smarter.
At the very least go second-hand.
Depends what it is. I’ll buy used books all day, but there’s almost no level of savings where I’d buy most used electronics.
It’s usually at the same rate it takes me to switch video games. If the interest survives two game changes then it deserves hobby money
Ugh, I always have like 5 of these slow cooking in my brain at any given time. And I’ll be warming up another 5 old hobbies I’ve not touched in years.
I’ll eventually have a dam breaking moment where all my hobbies just switch at once.
100000% yes.
Learned this one long ago.
Took years for my wife to understand it.
The cheapness is STRONGER then my ADHD.
I do this with tools too. Buy it cheap. If I use it enough that it wears out, buy a good one.
Definitely except I struggle with impulsivity so my threshold of waiting time is far lower than it should be.
Lol. So excited spent a bunch of time and money buying all the shit I needed to get into polymer clay sculpting… then I was like oh I should probably digitize my movie collection up to plex.
Now I’m like. Why did I want to get into sculpting?
I hate this. So does my dust/fur covered half completed first sculpt. Poor little guy.
Online shopping. It can be a week to a month before I pull the plug, but I still somehow have buyer’s remorse.
I don’t, at least not on purpose. I’ll be in the rabbit hole from hours to days narrowing down what I want. I never intentionally wait to see if my opinion changes, but often I will drag my feet on buying something, and just never do it.
Yes but as soon as I buy it and use it I will lose all interest. (Looks over at 3 unused 3D printers)
My rule with myself is i won’t buy any quality stuff for a hobby or interest until I’ve been interested in it for an extended period.
I don’t think this has anything to do with ADHD.
