I think this is very smart. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.

Or as Yogi Berra said, you can observe a lot just by watching.

I used to hate budgets. But since I also hated spending money I didn’t have, I set a small goal of just trying to rein in “regular” expenses. Easy right? I dumped my credit cards except for one for EMERGENCIES. Cash or debit card only now.

I looked carefully at “regular” expenses and decided to dump my AT&T phone for a prepaid phone. Got a Tracfone for 30 bucks but it was kinda-sorta free since it came with 30 bucks worth of air time.

Now I budget my phone use by buying the amount of time I want, up front. I also got a double minutes card which makes it an even better value.

There are some expenses that can be “managed” and those are the ones to budget.

Saving money and cutting expenses is the goal. It may seem difficult at times. But you have to start somewhere!

Turning goals into actions is always difficult that’s why I really rate SMART objectives because done properly they virtually write your actions for you. Whilst they may seem time consuming and just a waste of effort, they really can help you to transform the way in which you translate words into actions and also give you a sense of acheivement to look back on. By the way any chance of an up date about how things are going in relation to your blog goals for this year, in terms of visitor traffic, ad space selling etc? Keep up all the hardwork my friend you truly have one of the best PF blogs on the net and I think a lot of people look to you for inspiration

Great post!

We call it a “fish bone” diagram and though I have used this in my work life, I have never used it in my personal life.

There you go. Another great positive effect from reading blogs. And yours is just great.

Thanks
