My level headed method helps me reach my goals

My daily book has been helping me save my goals and achieve all year. At the start of the year I bought an A4 meeting book, with section dividers. This gives me a section for my goals, one for 'major lists' that will go through the whole year and lists of different levels. To give you an example, it's this one here: http://www.createl.com.au/buy/meeting-record-book-purple/2578P

I count general housework as Level 1, things like tidying up/sorting, paper cleaning as Level 2 and Level 3 as big things that need other help, such as tax or renovating/new major organisation of the house and so on.

I work full time at a job that has many night and after hour events, so find myself doing a lot of Level 1 on the weekends. However, unless I make a conscious effort, I do not get much of Level 2 or 3 done. Using this book both at work and home helps me to be really organised!

Put your nail biting habit to sleep for good

For most unconscious habits such as nail biting, hypnosis is often the best, cheapest and environmentally friendly cure for nail biting. No drugs, no chemicals and usable by any member of the family providing they are receptive to hypnosis. Some people cannot be hypnotised but they are very few and far between. A single personal session might be all that is needed, but there are some very good programs available in various formats for home use. Worth a go!

Say 'get well soon' with supermarket treats

I have come up with a low cost way to give a 'get well' gift that is always appreciated! Instead of flowers, I send the patient their favourite treats from the supermarket. In the past I used to send flowers but the cheapest I was able to get was about $80! So I came up with this cheaper alternative.
Now, when someone is sick, I buy around $30 of the patients' favourite foods and magazines online from the Coles or Woolworths websites and have it delivered to my friends and family in hospital. You simply put in their hospital address. You can even add a note to say it is a gift from you!
Delivery is usually free, or a maximum of $5.00. This saves me $50 a time on flowers and people really appreciate the thought and effort I have gone to in getting their favourite treats. It is also a very welcome relief from hospital food!

Too broke to save big? Save small!

I have discovered that 'saving small' really works for me and leads to some big savings after all! Before I had my first son we planned to set aside about $100 every month for savings to build up an emergency fund. However, by the time I got pregnant we had still not managed to save anything. So instead of $100 a month we lowered our sights to $10 a week - but still it didn't happen. The sum just seemed huge and too much to manage with all the bills we had to pay. After my son was born I told myself I really had to make a start. I began saving $2.00 a day. It was a small amount and did not seem big enough to notice. My son is now two and a half and I have saved a total of $1800 in cash! Now we have our second child and I'm putting aside $4.00 each day. If I continue with this, by the time my children are old enough for school, the cash will really come in handy for their education expenses - or anything else for that matter!
