Stephen Covey has a chapter about this in Seven Habits. It's pretty good.
Well, it's not really an impulse "now" situation, it's more of an "I'm out of milk" situation. I do lists. Lists for everything. Groceries, outlet store, book store - heck, I somehow even managed to have 2 different "wish lists" on Amazon. I'm actually pretty good at planning "trips out of the woods" but found myself many times running out for milk. Of course, it may also have been cabin fever and my need to leave the subdivision! Now with the weather nice, I like spending more time at home floating on the lake, hitting the pool or being lazy on the hammock. I mean, making those 10 mile hikes..........
