Every January we make a list of resolutions, in a wild attempt to change our bad
habits. Want to lose weight? Eat better, exercise more? Stop spending so much money
on QVC? We’ll often assess all the things we don’t like about ourselves and declare that
this is the year it all changes. The problem is, we make these commitments without any
idea how to actually follow through. I mean, if we really knew how to drop those fifteen
pounds and keep them off, we wouldn’t be committing to losing them every single year,
right? Changing a bad habit requires a plan, and it isn’t really about willpower. It’s about
changing your approach in a way that makes it feel like less effort. As humans, we just
want things to be easy. So why fight it? Go with it, and you could put your bad habits to
rest permanently.

The first step will be setting up a conditioning period. The basic idea is to design
a situation where you can create a new, more positive habit without sapping your
willpower completely. This is going to be the most important part of the process. Start
with a set time period for this conditioning phase. Thirty days is a good idea, because
it’s long enough to really lay the foundation for a habit change but short enough to feel
possible. Your only job for those thirty days will be making your new behavior habitual.
It could take longer for it to happen without effort. Experts say habituation takes around
sixty-six days, but focus in on your new habit regardless of results for the full thirty days,
and the rest will follow.

The next thing you’ll have to consider is that there can’t be any days off. Take
exercise as an example. You decide that you’ll take the kids out in their stroller for a
brisk, sixty-minute walk. But since you’re schedule is so busy and you don’t want to push
your willpower, [Read more…]

With summer just around the corner, the kids are out of school and ready to play in the sunshine; the
world feels happier and more excited in the vibrant air that summer brings. It can be hard to stick to a
budget during the summer months with all the excitement, but here are ways to help you save on those
summer essentials for your family while still having a blast.

Start by purchasing new swimwear, beach towels, pool accessories, and any other summer products
during blowout sales during the fall and winter. Stores will clear out summer merchandise to make way
for the next season’s merchandise and with a little planning ahead you can capitalize on the low prices to
stock up for the next summer. You could save hundreds on gearing up for summer by stocking up during
the off seasons.

If you and your spouse have to work during the weeks, consider making arrangements with friends and
family to keep the costs of childcare lower. If there are a lot of kids around the neighborhood, you could
all pool your resources and hire a sitter or two for all the kids. You could switch days you take each other’s
children or offer a younger sibling or a niece or nephew of an appropriate age to watch your kids for
cheaper than daycares would charge.

Save on your summer food costs by focusing your meals around what’s in season in your area. In season
produce will be cheaper than out of season choices and are available from farmer’s markets and other
local sources so you aren’t paying for the transportation of your food from far away lands. There’s also
no better time than summer to start your own vegetable garden. Your own garden will really [Read more…]
