The New Year's resolution or 'action phase' is when you're highly motivated for change. Use it to set things in motion and automate as much as you can. 

  • Put your bills on autopay
  • Start using a savings app
  • Cut out any subscriptions you don't really need.

If you don't have a plan when the New Year's glow has worn off in a few months, you will stop doing whatever you promised to do. 

To force yourself to stick to a budget:

  • Write down everything you spend.
  • Add it up at the end of every week.
  • Submit a report to help keep you accountable.
