Use This Accountability Trick To Consume Less

07 Jul 2017 • becomingminimalist.com

The TV seemed to be suggesting I needed to repaint my home, update my wardrobe, take heartburn medication, get better sleep at night with a new mattress, and enter a sweepstakes for my own home improvement project.

These were all companies, ideas, and items that I had never heard about nor considered.

When I caught myself mulling over the prospect of buying two sweatshirts for the price of one, I laughed about the power of these advertisements and gently refocused my attention on the book I had brought to read.

I hate most advertising and how it’s gotten so out of hand. Now I have to watch adds while I pump gas - and when I eat dinner at a some restaurants. Makes me sad.
