, which details how to spend and save smarter. “You’re actually at a disadvantage if you’re not using technology to get ahead,” von Tobel tells. Whether it’s as simple as a calendar alert or putting your money apps front and center on your iPhone home screen, an exclusive excerpt from the book includes 6 tips for forming, and maintaining, good money habits, informed by the digital tools at your disposal., Charles Duhigg explains that habits go through a cue-routine-reward loop.
Creating a new habit starts with identifying a cue. What will your trigger be? You might choose a time or link it to another activity . Next, choose a reward that you’ll get after achieving the behavior. This could be everything from treating yourself to a coffee, to sleeping in an extra hour on the weekend. Last, create a plan to put these steps together.Recognize that taking care of your money is not a one-and-done game. It requires active maintenance throughout the year.
In addition to using calendar reminders and a separate email account, make sure to turn on notifications for the money apps you regularly use. Many of them are designed to help you form better money habits, so their product features include helpful nudges reminding you to take actions or useful flags to alert you when something out of the ordinary happens.
In order to stay on track throughout the year, it’s time to automate those reminders. Put key to-dos on your digital calendar and set alerts to nudge you when the time comes. It may take a few minutes to set up, but it’s a time investment sure to pay off. Think about it this way, would you rather store all these various dates in your brain or in the cloud?
