Manage for Success

Manage : succeed in surviving or in attaining one’s aims, esp. against heavy odds; cope.

My life can be managed to help me find a healthy balance.

I manage my life by having a plan. I spend time thinking about the path I am in and the place where I want to be. Organization and order are the ingredients that make my life efficient. Having a plan makes it easier for me to maximize my time and productivity.

My appointments are clearly marked in my planner. When I commit myself to an engagement, I quickly mark my calendar so I can remember it. I store reminders in my phone and computer so I am punctual. My agenda is with me everywhere I go so I know what is going on in my life.

To manage my finances, I keep a monthly budget to help me spend my hard earned money wisely. I use my budget to help me find a balance in my spending and I allocate enough money to pay my bills and treat myself.

I jot down a variety of lists so I remember all the things I intend to do. My goals are always written somewhere visible. And yet my vision is written on my heart.

Listening to my feelings allows me to make alterations in my life. When I feel overwhelmed, I take a step back from work. If I feel alone, I spend more time with my family and friends. I take a vacation when I experience exhaustion.

My life is worthy of being treated with the utmost care and I deserve a healthy and balanced life.

Debt to Success

Debt: something, typically money, that is owed or due.

My debt does not control me, I am in control of my debt.

I maintain effective financial habits that make saving money automatic and keep me from sinking into debt. As a result, I effortlessly move toward financial freedom and a debtfree lifestyle.

Every time I get paid, a portion of my income automatically goes into savings. I figure that if I don’t see it I won’t miss it!

I make a detailed budget, including both necessary expenses and fun money and I stick to it.

I trust myself to use credit cards appropriately. I am sure to stay within my budget so that each month I can pay off whatever I charge. This strategy builds great credit, too!

If something costs more than the monthly budget allows, I save up for it. I only use extended credit for the big things, like a car or a house, and I get great interest rates on the big items because of my wise financial habits.

I also do little things each day that add up to a lot of money over time. At the end of each day, I put all my change into a jar and start fresh with only bills the next day.

I plan my meals so I can prepare food at home rather than having to pick up fast food due to a hectic schedule. I make my own coffee rather than pick some up on the way to work.

Today, I am planning a nice vacation, paid for with cash, because my great financial habits free up the funds for me to enjoy such rewards.

Debt to Success Questions:

1. Am I effortlessly moving toward financial freedom?

2. Have I taken the trouble to make a flexible budget that I can stick to?

3. What habits can I start that will put me more in control of my debt?
