Delay the Urge

Leo Babauta from Zen habits wrote a blog the other day on the Power of Delay.

It is a very powerful idea and I love the concept so much that I am going to try this for the next week or so and see how I do. One of the biggest things I am going to try this with is my recent urge to buy a bag of chips at work (particularly Doritos, the bane of my health). When I get an urge to buy chips for an afternoon snack, I will instead delay the urge and say "hey! how I about I wait for another half an hour before getting chips?" I think this will be an easy and effective way to keep from eating so much junk food and saving myself change. Wish me luck!
