Sunday 15/06/08. What small dfw things will you do today???

andan

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 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.

-Need to complete job application I didn't get done yesterday
-Try and start second job application form
-Look at which if any, jobs I need to phone up about
-Sort out diary and put dates in that I need to remember
-Will finish sorting through bags of paper work and junk and file things away
-Have started revision for exam on Tuesday, plan for today is to read through all TMAs and the course review. If I get all that done then I will have most of it done.

Im off to a funeral on Thurs and bought a white shirt £3 and a pair of black trousers £6 from George at Asda. I got change from a tenner

Sorry to hear about the funeral lenny.

Sounds like a lazy day for most. I think i have brain ache from too much revision, not sure how much is going in, but think i am slowly getting there. Only have two tma's to read through and a few pages of the course guide left to read, so i'm getting there.

Andan give yourself a bit of a break between studying and get a bit of fresh air - apparently it wakes up the brain cells again ready for the next bout:D

When is the exam?

Am having a break for a few hours before i get back to it, have been popping outside though for fresh air.

It's on Tuesday, so am a bit late with the revision, but knowing how i work, i am better revising late into it as that way i feel i remember more and its literally a case of just remembering what i've studied as i have to write three mini essays in the exam. Thanks for asking and for the advice.
