Collected Thoughts

I wanted to make some changes and be smarter about my money but I try todo things and then get bogged down because they don't work. I'mnot one of those people who can wake up one day and just make a sweeping change.

I suck at that.

What evidentally does work for me is taking micro steps. That's how I became a vegetarian and other changes I 've made (that stuck) where tiny tiny steps.

So my first step is buying one less diet coke at work for the next 2 weeks. I can do that! it's totally doable and so far I've done it. Then after that I'm going to make another micro change.  I'm starting to keep a record of how much I spend on a google spreadsheet but I haven't done that every day. But that's okay, because at least I'm doing it a couple times of week and it's just an experiment.

I think I'm going to introduce this idea to Mom. She eats out a lot and takes me with her and so she never is eating home made good food and I don't as much as I should and it's a waste of money for her. So I'm going to suggest to here that every other week we make dinner, maybe on the weekends. That's not a huge thing and I think it will work.

I'll see.
