How I Plan To Sprint Into 2020. Will You Join Me?

As I write this post, we are in Week 42 of 2019, with exactly 10 weeks to go to the end of the year. Take a moment to think about how you started the year. If you are anything like me, you had some goals and a vision of how you wanted the year to go. I confess I not only had goals, but I also had an entire vision board! This year, I had my first vision board ever, as I explain in this video.

Of the things I committed to, I have performed the worst at my fitness goals. I started with the intention of working out at home, dropped off the wagon by the first month. Next, I tried to resume running and only managed 4 runs before giving up –  it seems that stage of my life is gone forever.  With about two months left to the year, I decided to make a commitment which I share at the end of the post, in a list of how I intend to make the next 10 weeks count.

Whether you believe in new year resolutions or not, you probably expressed the intention to either change your money habits or to enhance the good habits you had in 2018.

Quite a number of us – by us I mean readers of this blog – signed up for the #52WeekChallenge

If you did, how are you doing?

The purpose of this post is to challenge you to make the last ten weeks of the year count. Money and fitness habits are alike in many ways, but with one exception. If you have been working out for three months and you drop out, you start losing whatever gains you made immediately. With money habits, dropping off does not mean you lose your savings. You can come back and pick right from where you dropped off.

So if you started the #52WeekChallenge with loads of enthusiasm and life happened, how about you make the next 10 weeks count? Revive your M-Shwari Lock Savings Account, and resolve to make a deposit on there every week for the next ten weeks. You do not have to overthink or make important resolutions about the money, just commit to depositing a set amount every Friday…or Monday…or whatever day that works for you. You do not have to do it for 52 weeks, it does not even need to follow a set timetable – just get something done.

If you have never opened an M-Shwari Lock Savings account, here is a guide on how to. Do it now.

Surely, you can do something 10 times, right? That is how you close the year on a sprint.

I am also doing a few things to end the year right:

1. I rejoined the gym, this is the 4th week of consistent attendance. That is all I am saying about this, because every time I have shared my fitness goals, I end up dropping off. No jinxing it this time.
2. I have committed to write an article on here daily starting yesterday.
3. 10 weeks remaining on the #52WeekChallenge means ten major money lessons on my Twitter account and Vlog. Do not miss out, the first Twitter chat goes up tomorrow.
