I’d like to:
-pay bills on time and not let them sit there
-keep up with laundry instead of letting it go for days
-keep up with the dishes instead of letting them pile up
-do things when they need to be done (inspection stickers, paperwork, etc) rather than days, weeks, months leter

I want to pay more attention to my checking register – do I have enough money in the account to cover the check I am about to write, and have I written down every withdrawal, every debit card charge and every check? I want to pay more attention to my bank statements – am I still paying for any subscriptions or memberships that I no longer use, and if so, why haven’t I cancelled them? And most importantly, I want to watch where and how I am spending my money so I can reevaluate where my money goes . . . and maybe even start saving something too.
I want to slow down long enough to give them what they need and deserve from me – my time, my attention and my patience. I don’t want to yell at them so much and I would love it if I could be more even-keeled with them, staying calm and collected.
