BECOMMING ROUTINE

HITTING THE SNOOZE ALARM, GETTING UP AND TAKING A SHOWER, AND HAVING A CUP OF COFFEE IN THE MORNING are all part of a routine that hardly varies. But in doing these things, one has trained themselves to process actions of every day life. So goes with the routine of handling ones money. The key part of a routine is prioritizing. Keeping the most important first and so on. Another process in training yourself for the future. Now, teaching and learning what's first is the beginning, but acting on this comes next in the training. Set a certain day aside that will work for you and get into the habit of doing this every week till it becomes routine. Definition; "standard course of action", which some might refer to as a rut.
PROCRASTINATING sounds like a nasty word, but it means to "put off to another time". Now it's true some of ones best works can happen when you wait till the last minute, but along with that comes living on the edge, so to speak. Cramming for a test last minute results in lose of sleep which will be felt later in life. Paying a bill late results in losing extra money which will also be felt later in life. This word is one of those "bad" habits you can train yourself and be difficult to break because it does work.
RUTS are not hard to break and can be improvised on with a little imagination. Money is a serious subject, but again, keep a good sense of humor and enjoy it while you are managing it. Yep, you are actually a manager. Just as you manage your house, family and business, so do you manage your money and don't let it sound scary. Let it be challenging but useful to you also. Once you let it become routine, it will be a lot easier to manage. Having all your information, checkbook, bills and receipts, you can organize your routine on a weekly bases. Amassing everything and processing will be the easy part. Deciding what you need, more income, another job or whatever, will be the next step. Doing this on the designated day is the next step and you are towards your goal. Be sure to set a goal, no matter if it's for a trip or your retirement or child's college or a new car. Keeping that goal always in sight is also not the easiest thing to do, but it will be at the end. And, it can be changed, but don't give it up. They say anything worked for is greatly appreciated in the end. Sounds like another way of being trained, but only time can tell.
