Habit Stacking in Finance – Blogging Out of Debt Blogging Out of Debt

Written by Hope

A few creatives (bloggers, because I personally no longer use social media) have recently started or are trying to start new routines in their lives. Many of these routines have health benefits, some are for work schedules, and I had the idea that this might work for me because I am nothing if not driven by routines, lists, and schedules. What do you think?

I’ve read a little about it:

Eight Elements of Habit Accumulation

According to SJ Scott (reference above), there are several elements to a habit stacking routine:

1. Each habit takes less than five minutes to complete.
2. It’s a complete habit.
3. It improves your life.
4. It is easy to complete.
5. The entire routine takes less than 30 minutes.
6. It follows a logical process.
7. A checklist follows.
8. It fits your life.

Now every one of them speaks my language to the core. Do you?

My favorite article I read was this one.Habit Stacking: 17 Micro Habits for Productivity” On the FS Blog.

How to apply for my jobs and budget

I’m nothing if not a habit builder. So, of course, I turned to Google to help me find specific examples of habit accumulation in finance. This was the most powerful list I could find.”How to Organize Your Financial Habits“I also appreciate This article By Chihee Kim, especially how I focused on learning and retaining more information about financial literacy. Every time I learn something, and really understand it, I realize how much I don’t know about finance.

Now I have to do the work. I will follow the steps outlined in This article (also mentioned above) and start this journey.

Have you used the habit stacking technique in any area of ​​your life? Have you found it helpful? And have you been successful in achieving your goal?
