Reclaim Your AUTONOMY

Donate $30 to Feeding America

[THE CHALLENGE]

Live without the dopamine of instant buying & reclaim your AUTONOMY.

[THE FORFEIT]

Donate $30 to Feeding America.

[THE RULES]

Remove Amazon, eBay, and Food Delivery apps. The mobile browser versions are clunky and annoying—use that friction to your advantage.
If you genuinely think you need it, put it in the cart. If you still remember it next Monday, you can buy it then. (Spoiler: You likely won't).
Community tip: Every time you resist an online purchase, put that exact dollar amount into a jar. Donate the total to a charity of your choice at the end of the week. You'll feel better about what you didn't buy than what you ever could have.

You will realize 90% of your purchases are just dopamine hits, not necessities.
You will save money simply because putting on pants and driving to a store is too much effort for a $15 gadget.
You realize inconvenience is a defense mechanism for your autonomy.

Supporting Theory: Behavioral Economics

Coming soon. For now, trust the process, commit to the challenge, and see how you feel.

COMMIT

Every Sunday, a new challenge drops. Commit to living without that modern convenience for a week.

LOG OUTCOME
