It’s because your brain responds after your body. And guess what — your money works the same way.

The Delay Is Real

• It takes 15–20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain you’re full
• Hitting the snooze button signals your body to restart the sleep cycle — but you wake up groggy
• If you hesitate for just 5 seconds on a good decision, your brain often talks you out of it.
This isn’t opinion — it’s how your nervous system works

💸 Now Think About Your Finances

• Delay creating a budget? You overspend
• Postpone reviewing debt? It quietly multiplies
• Pause before saying “no” to a non-essential buy? You probably say “yes.”
Money, like your body, needs early signals — not delayed regret

If it takes less than 5 minutes, do it now. If it moves you 5% closer to your financial goal, do it this week.
