Collecting Bad Habits

I’m wondering what bad habits are you trying to stop as a collector?

I have a very bad habit of being impatient and sometimes overpaying for cards I really want for my PC. When Juan Soto’s 2018 Topps Update cards released, I wanted them all immediately. When I saw the SP, I was one of the first to buy it on eBay.. then when I saw there was an SSP available, I thought they were going to be extremely limited, so I bought one of the first ones on eBay. Let’s just say, a month later, I knew I overpaid for them all BY A LOT! I kept telling myself to wait during the off-season, but I just couldn’t do it. When I see rare cards of my other PC players (Trout & Ichiro), I find myself overpaying for them too.

Anyone else want to share their bad habits? Sorry it’s unfortunately a sad topic for some of us.
