healthy addiction

December 20th, 2007

A long time ago, I read that making your bed improves your room’s look by 70%. So I started doing it, kept doing it and it stuck. Now, every morning, I roll out of the covers and, before putting in my contacts or brushing my teeth, I make the bed. It’s routine, habitual, without much thought. So it is with my daily lunches: basically every night, I get home and eat dinner. Then, before I do anything else, I pull out my folded brown bag and make my lunch with leftovers or PB&J or whatever I can find right away. It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s habit.

It works for me.

What are some frugal habits you’ve developed, and how did you do it?
