21.5.07 what small dfw thing will you do/have you done today?

Hello lovely DFWers!!

When we start out on the DFW trail we do loads of "big stuff" that makes quite a difference to our situation. These include having our lightbulb moment, cutting up the credit cards and cancelling Sky and the gym.

But once we have done the bigger stuff, we often feel that we are not making the same amount of progress, when in fact the small steps are helping us form good financial habits and helping us get closer everyday to staying in control and becoming debt free.

Examples could be charging your phone up at work instead of at home to save your electricity, hanging the washing out instead of using the tumble dryer or leaving your purse/wallet at home to avoid the risk of spending.

So be proud of those small steps, they really are important:

Today I will:

- not increase my debt in any way
- do a couple of hours invigilating at school
- take my own coffee to kids karate tonight saving me the cost of expensive coffee
- make a meal plan for the week
- do a storecupboard dinner

Have a good day everyone x

Hi hypno, hi all. Today I will be:
- doing my clicks, in a more organised way.
- am online at the moment, doing my financial practice as I promised myself I would (its in a lull).
- phoning a landlord about room rental in London for work.
- finishing off the spec for my house renovation.

I'm sure (I hope!) there's more, but can't think of it now. Have a good day, everyone.

Today I have taken in my lunch and am going to the gym tonight (prepaid so the more I go the more I think I'll save).
