What Small DFW Things Will You Do This Week? 6/9/2021!

BlueJ94

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, or staying debt free. 

Examples could be hanging 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 😀

Another gym session under my belt at the new place. I'm slooooow but that's ok
Gorgeous day here and I wish I could take my laptop outside but the internet doesn't extend to the garden. Dragged OH up to the allotment last night and picked more beans. All the beans are now on a tray in the sun to dry them out fully before popping them in a jar. I have over 300g of dried beans now and at least as many again to pick. They aren't a climbing bean so you don't get as much bang for your buck but it was nice to grow them.

I am supposed to be going to another meditation tonight with my friend. The meditation is a bit "activated crytals" for my tastes but it's nice to see my friend and do a bit of enforced relaxation!  

Small things:
B/L/D from stores
Washing outside to dry
Stick to meal plan and log cals/macros in free app
Little bit of a tidy round at home
Cut a big bunch of sage for my friend
Sneaky bit of sock knitting during my work call this morning

Have a good one all
