If you enjoy having a special meal once a<br />
month with the family (Pizza night or Sunday<br />
lunch anyone?) then that is a good time to<br />
include a short discussion about how your<br />
budget and debt review are going. The new<br />
but admittedly tough habit can get added to<br />
the existing good time. This will help trick your<br />
brain into associating the new habit with the<br />
existing one.<br />
Do you always spend time on Instagram in<br />
bed before going to sleep? Why not add in<br />
a few minutes of reading before you get too<br />
tired?<br />
You get the idea. Find times in your daily,<br />
weekly or monthly routine when you regularly<br />
repeat something and then tack the new<br />
habit onto that existing routine. This will<br />
make it much easier to be consistent and stay<br />
motivated.<br />
Why not try habit stacking in your life, and see<br />
if it makes picking up a new good habit any<br />
easier?
