Saving Sunday: Be boring!
“Automation” = “Autonomy”
There are certain things that we have to do and get it done always, like doing laundry, paying bills, eating breakfast.
Instead of waiting till have no clean clothes, have pay late fee or get really hungry that you cannot stop opening the fridge to look what’s in there, put the duties in automation.
My laundry dates are Mondays and Fridays. I stick with schedule regardless of how much dirty clothes we have.
Bill payments are taken care of on between 1st to 5th day or 15th of every months.
My breakfast … I am still working on that one. Ideally, I love to have “Japanese breakfast” – rice, veggies and miso soup everyday. But making rice every morning can be tricky. (Instant rice produces too much plastic waste – so I am trying to avoid that! ) So, I often ended up eating a Larabar at 1 PM because I forget to eat.
Plan ahead and be consistent. You can avoid a lot of “last minute spending”
We use to have more “meat” days, but we cut down on beef last year, as part of our regular meal.
