>>4356845Buying some new gear lol.
Serious answer, look deep inside and see if you really are bumping up against the limitations of your current kit. Think about what you shoot and try to stab out any inklings of "need" that you can.
For instance, my low light performance is pretty bad and my older DSLR has mediocre autofocus. I shoot a range of subjects but the low light will only be fixed with faster glass and a better body. I shoot on the move so a flash setup is not an option. If I can't fit it into a small camera bag, it's too much gear for me. That limits me to 2-3 lenses and a body and a small travel tripod.
I'm working toward moving to mirrorless but I'm making it a slow and deliberate process that will take me the better part of a year, and I've been shooting on my current gear for almost 10 years before really deciding I want to upgrade. I'm focusing on glass first, as much as possible.
One strategy I use to stab out those urges, is if I feel the urge to impulse buy something, I stop and say I need to wait until the end of the next complete pay period (so a minimum of 2 weeks) - Not because I need the money but because I want to give myself time to control the impulse and let the desire fade. 99% of the time, I avoid the impulse buy and it takes me like a year to actually work up to buying something.
In that time I am binging review videos on everything related to that purchase and reading as much as I possibly can, trying as hard as I can to find anything that I would consider a dealbreaker.
Only after something has passed through the above process, do I buy.
Now, this is for stuff that's over a hundred bucks or so. If it's like 20 bucks or fairly inexpensive then this generally goes out the window. But any lenses, cameras, bags, etc, (and stuff for other hobbies too) fall into the above impulse reduction process.
>>4356896Also probably this. I'm unmedicated ADHD but I don't doubt this would also help.
