A common piece of financial advice is: “Pay yourself first.” This is a great strategy for building savings you thought you could never build.
Here’s a variation of this sage advice that lets you get something accomplished you never thought you could accomplish:
Put Yourself First
Here’s what this means . . . Whatever activity you really want to do but haven’t taken the time to do will now get done first in your day.
Before doing errands, housework, gardening, cooking dinner, checking email, and all the other activities you engage in, you will make time for the activity you want to do. The beautiful thing about this strategy is that you will still have time to finish all that other stuff. And, you’ll be getting something done that you truly want to do.
Put yourself first. It’s like a miracle strategy for making more time in your day.
