I'm impulsive as shit. What can I do about it?
I spend money on useless crap. I just cut my hair and died it black on a whim and it doesn't even suit me. I do lots of things I regret soon after. Also can't concentrate on following plans or instruction so I always start improvising. My massive procrastination problems might somehow be related to this, too.
The thing is my brain does this weird thing, before I can even stop myself. It just shuts out all reasonable thoughts. I can't explain it better.

GO OUT AND SMASH SOMETHING.
DO IT FAGGOT!
Seriously though, how can we help you control your impulses? Well I had to find that willpower on my own anyway. Hm.

I don't know, should I hire someone to follow me around to hit me every time I'm about to do something dumb. I just don't know how to make willpower or some shit out of nothing.

I don't know. Maybe sort of level it out, gradually.
Like allow yourself to indulge on some things but shut your self off from others.
You won't be the most productive person in the world but you'll satisfy yourself knowing you didn't follow every one of your stupid whims at the end of the day. Take it slow.
That has worked for me anyway. I wouldn't know how to get rid of impulses entirely, just how to manage them.
Of course first you must acknowledge that what you're doing is stupid in the moment.
