I generally review our business and my personal finances quarterly.
The personal one generally shows why Edinburgh's coffee shops are still in business, anyone else or just me?
When it comes to the business finances I try and make at least some savings every quarter.
There are generally two ways to do this (and this is where this relates to your health and fitness journey).
You can cut a fair few small things or you can get rid of one big thing.
This is similar when adding or removing habits.
Maybe you are keen to get more steps in. You could achieve this by going a 10 minute walk every lunchtime OR going a big 60 minute walk at the weekend.
You are keen to do more cardio so you come to Saturday Showdown (a 60 minute intense class at Elevate98) OR you come 10 minutes early Monday-Friday to jump on a bike.
You are keen to manage your nutrition so you have one slice of toast instead of two each lunch OR you change your Saturday takeaway. (This is just to show the point not neccesarily what you would do).
Generally a mix of big and small changes is best at different times.
This also helps as it allows you to keep the 'big' things (nights out/weekend rest day/meals out etc) instead of getting rid of them as you may assume you have to.
What is your go to for making or changing habits?
