Tired Shopping

No comments :

I’ve noticed that particularly following long (60ish hour) work weeks, I tend to shop for self-care/convenience items on the weekend to make the upcoming work week easier. The overtime pay more than covers it but I have other financial goals. Often it’s reasonable and carefully considered purchases that improve my quality of life - like a small HEPA air purifier for the bedroom when allergies are kicking me around.

But I’m worried about this becoming a habit —- feeling exhausted and buying something with the idea it might lessen the level of exhaustion the following week when I’ll work just as much. I can’t buy more time to sleep. Do you have any suggestions? Usually I consider something for a few weeks before pulling the trigger.
