Human Forgetfulness

I deleted all my "wish lists" at most sites. I do not believe my tastes will change (at least, significantly) but I will only remember most of the "wish lists" gradually, possibly roughly in line when my "disposable income" recovers.

Call it a gift of behavioral economics. You don't regret what you don't remember.

So true.

I used to maintain the list of books I wanted to read in my Amazon cart. Needless to say, this resulted in buying more books than I otherwise would have (though really not that much in grand scheme of things).

Now I have a reading_queue.txt file.
