Our ADHD brains love novelty, quick rewards and dopamine, which can make resisting impulse purchases tough. Whether it’s a new gadget, an online course, or buying all the things for your latest hyper-fixation, those expenses add up fast.

Now? I can step away from my business for a week (or longer), fully enjoy the time, and know that my finances are still in a good place without me hustling in real time.
