I ended up missing my beer money goals for the past two weeks, which was not too unexpected considering my vacation, but it’s likely I’ll fall short this week as well. I was, however, still able to make one stock purchase per week and I will already be able to make at least one purchase next week, so I consider that a win. Though I would like to figure out a way to continue earning $50 dollars a week in beer money income even when my routine gets disrupted.
In an effort to get back into my routine, I uncovered why a simple change of setting can be so disruptive to a routine (though arguably beneficial for many other reasons), but I also found some great information backed by science that may help get me back on track. Entrepreneur has a short, but insightful article called 7 Science-Backed Strategies for Building Powerful Habits. And a site called Modern Health Monk has an article titled 41 Unique Insights on Creating Healthy Habits: Backed by Science that goes even more in-depth, and with links to the studies!
