Have goals you want to achieve and set a deadline.
A very productive way to write a goal is to use the SMART method.
- Specific: Choose a specific goal. Don’t say ’save more’, but instead choose ‘put aside 5% of my paycheck into a savings account.’
- Measurable: How do you know when you reached your goal? If you are saving an emergency fund up, consider setting aside 3-6 months of living expenses.
- Attainable: Work on 1 or 2 goals at a time so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
- Realistic: Make sure your goal is something you can do and truly believe in.
- Time Based: By setting a deadline, you can work backwards and break down the steps into mini goals.
