It felt a bit like paid article from the ads team.

Just a though - if I need ads to remind me to buy something with the next salary, maybe I don't need it enough and it's ADHD talking not me. If I need it enough I will come to the same conclusion later independently. At least that's the way at how I try to control my impulsiveness with online shopping.

Can't be a very good one then considering that no ad products are mentioned.

The writer is a psychiatrist with ADHD. This is a simple article explaining how something most people don't like can ironically be gamed to be helpful for this type of person.
