This is what got me, kept putting personal stuff aside, then it all started juggling across my mind in a way I couldn't stay focused with work or anything.
One of those personal things I recommend NOT setting aside if you work a mental job is something physical.

Mental stress without a physical release for sustained periods drives me crazy.
My knees dislocate super easy, its super painful. I still need exercise anyway.
I don't know what your budget for activities is, or how expensive it may be in Europe, but I have a special deal with a local kart track with a rental fleet, I can show up any time they don't have a corporate event and run as much as I like all year.
I think the impulse buying comes from your brain trying to limit how many things are on the mind, so instead of normal decision making just buy it. Its a sign to offload some thoughts.
