If you don’t know me, my name is Paul and I am a speedcuber. As a speedcuber, I own a lot of speedcubes, over 50 of them. I keep on buying newer models and never put myself on a limit. Every single time I buy one, I make an excuse like “oh this one has this new magnet system” or “this one is super light”. With this excuse, I have bought well over $700 dollars of speedcubes. So, I want to come up with three ways to prevent this. First, I’ll try to restrict myself and only buy new puzzles. Second, I won’t check the speed cube website every day. Lastly, I will not watch youtube or Instagram as much as most people tell you to buy this cube or another one.
Primarily, I want to not buy the cubes I already have. I would try to buy hard puzzles like the examinx (https://www.thecubicle.com/products/shengshou-examinx) and other puzzles. This will help me because I usually buy 3x3s and 4×4, so I want to expand the variety.
Furthermore, I’ll try to not to check the cube store every day. I usually check it and I want to buy all the new releases so if I don’t, then I won’t buy all that new stuff. I also know from experience that most of them aren’t even that good.
Lastly, I will not use Instagram as much and try to not watch cube unboxings. Usually, I watch them and buy these cubes because they say it is the best but when I use them they are not as good as expected. Also these people are sponsored so they have to say that they are good.
In conclusion, I will try not to buy as much speedcubes and restrict myself by doing three things. First, I will try to not buy cubes I already have. Also, I will try to not got to the cube store’s website everyday. Lastly, I will not use Youtube or Instagram as much.
