"My commitment is not gone away however, I still find myself being hijacked by the fear/agitation around new stuff that comes constantly at me. I won't give up as this is my way of doing thing differently always. I realised that when I am the stage of planning for the following day, I am occasionally reluctant to do "more" for my planning. If next day goes via the planning, things will go faster and smoother.
How can I ensure that I will plan for the following day work/myself no matter what?
1-My emotions need to serve me instead of hinder me.
2-
Why I am not feeling as this is a new habitual way of doing things? Because I don't do it daily but only when I have to.(seems on top)
Why I am not looking at the calendar on a daily basis as I should? Because I operate randomly based how I feel not by structure and plan.
How can I make this pleasurable, enjoyable and easy? By rewarding myself when a plan made me better of the following day.

"I have a good relationship with money. I’m working on how to better my understanding of money dynamics in my life. I bought a flip shot today and bread rolls. For dinner and lunch tomorrow. I didn’t buy anything else unnecessarily. I don’t want to have negative connotations with money, so I’ll be as positive as possible."
"Today I had to get a few groceries and household items. I stuck to what I had written on my list. I will continue to do this on a daily basis to help me to keep track of where I’m spending my money on as I want to be able to pick up trends. I look forward to the rest of the week. Trusting God as well for this process. I also want to learn good financial habits and processes."

"The Japanese government announces policies designed to depreciate the yen.
The yen will tend to become less attractive to investors, increasing relative demand for the dollar and lifting the price of the USD/JPY pair.
When you look at a quote for a financial asset, you'll generally see not one but two prices:
Bid price - the price you'll receive as a seller
Ask price - the price you'll pay as a buyer"
"Having started a new regime to get back some "Balance" in my life, one of the things I'm really happy about is that I'm actually already balanced in terms of the system I have in place to manage my finances, and this is it. I have definitely been much more back to my "good ways" this week and it's really showing in my accounts and in the way I'm recording my spend.
I have received a slight over-payment from work on my expenses (but I fessed up to that, but that helps me for now) and Terry gave me more than half of the money for the flowers I arranged for his sister's birthday.
For that reason I'm really happy to report my results this week:
1) Current Acc in Credit: A, 2) No wasteful spend: A, 3) People owing me money: A. Therefore, I give myself the following Grade: A"
"Well well well. Ich war nicht weg, noch nicht mal im Supermarkt. Nur Geld für Benzin und Geschenke ausgegeben. Okay und ne Ofenkartoffel hab ich mir am Freitag gegönnt. "
"I am motivated by love, success, great feelings, great experiences, accomplishments, good things, happiness, my wife, my goals, my dreams. success, positive emotions, positive people, making the world a better place, my future or destiny,originality, uniqueness, power, independence, financial prosperity, forward movement, beautiful women, gorgeous smiles, sex, lust, flirtation, free things, generosity, music, film, acting, writing, fans, cheers, going the distance, and more"
"As the saying goes, 'it takes two sides to make a market'. The two sides concerned are:
Buyers, who usually believe an asset's value is likely to rise - known as 'bulls'
Sellers, who generally think an asset's value is set to fall - known as 'bears'
The relationship between them powers the movements in market prices. Let's look at how that works.
Suppose you were buying a car – you'd look for the lowest price on the model you wanted. And if other buyers were thin on the ground you might strike a good deal. On the other hand, if you were trying to bag a rare and sought-after vehicle, you might have to pay the seller a high price.
In the same way, the balance of demand from buyers and supply from sellers influences prices in financial markets."
"Had a very productive week, especially considering that I was out of town on Monday. Not only did I stay under TV goal, I didn't watch any TV at all. "
"Meine Ausgaben der letzten Wochen: Ca. 100 € weil Hochzeit und Papa Geburtstag und einmal volltanken (für 1,459€/l was ja im Moment ein Schnäppchen ist...)"
"Last week I was on a week's holiday but managed to quickly submit my report, which I feel very good about. Actually, last week I was pretty good in terms of spending - I even kept a note while I was away but I do struggle to feel in control when I can't fill in my Excel spreadsheet every day. I need to look at a way of having access to this. I'm actually wondering if I should invest a bit of my savings and purchase a decent laptop that I can do all my work from confidently. Food for thought.
So, in terms of my commitment, I finished May in credit (technically) by £59.04 - when I say technically - as the 1st June was a Sunday, and some money, I was owed, was transferred to me on the Saturday - it didn't actually show in my account until the 3rd, but I'm counting it as officially being in credit.
In terms of wasteful spend - I am also vindicated in so much as it was Karen's 50th Birthday so I don't consider the money I spent on that as wasteful because I wanted to spoil her and she will always remember this birthday as a nice event.
I spent quite a lot on Karen's Party Table decorations. Pete said he would contribute but underpaid me by £7 on what we agreed but, in the grand scheme of things, he paid for loads of things for her, so I'm not going to worry about that piddling amount.
So, to the grades for this week:
1) Current Acc in credit: B, 2) No wasteful spend: C, 3) People owing me money: B. Therefore, I give myself the following Grade: C (a nominal pass but need to do much better to gain back proper control)."
