4 Life-Changing Hacks to Implement at the Beginning of a New Month

written by Imo David

It's the beginning of a new month, and you're eager to get started. After all, "new year, new you" doesn't have to be limited to January, does it? So true.

Nothing beats kicking off a new month by doing a few things that will leave you feeling organized, motivated, and ready to go for the rest of the month.

Keep reading for 4 life-changing things you should do at the start of a new month, from establishing new objectives to putting your finances in order and treating yourself with a little self love!

1. Establish goals at the start of each month.

You may have set some lofty new objectives at the start of the year, but how are you doing? Setting objectives at the start of each month is an excellent method to hold yourself accountable for your most ambitious ambitions.

Set aside some time at the start of each month to reflect on the preceding month.

• What did you enjoy about the previous month?
• Was there anything you didn't like?
• What were you expecting to achieve?
• Did you complete it? What is your reasoning?
• What do you wish to do differently in the coming month?
• Do you have any bucket-list activities planned for this month?

Reflect, discuss, and establish some significant goals for the coming month. Make a note of them and return to see them at the beginning of the next month.

2. Plan ahead of time

They say that if you don't plan, you plan to fail, which may be true in some situations. Take some time at the start of each new month to reflect on what the month ahead holds.

• Who has a birthday coming up this month?
• What upcoming social events or responsibilities do you have?
• Are you going to be traveling or away from home any of these days?
• Is there anything else you should make a note of?

It's doubtful that you'll know every detail of what you're doing for the month ahead, but knowing what major activities and dates you've already committed to can help you plan your time and, of course, help you conquer those monthly objectives.

3. Take charge of your money

So you've made some plans and set some targets. What comes next? It's time to start managing those funds!

To make such smart #moneymoves, you must manage and monitor your accounts on a regular basis. At the very least, once a month. Use this opportunity to pay down any outstanding debts or credit card payments. How much money do you expect to make this month?

 Do you have a predetermined monthly salary? Do you anticipate receiving a bonus? Perhaps it's tax season, and you're looking forward to receiving your much-anticipated tax refund. (By the way, if you are, make sure to read this post on three ways you should spend your tax return this year!)

Then, take some time to forecast how much you'll spend in the coming month and create a budget appropriately. Having a budget, like setting objectives, is essential for managing your finances. Set a budget for the month and break it down by category at the beginning of each month. As an example:

N10,000 for entertainment

N5,000 for groceries

N6,000 for cable and bills

Rent = N40,000

Some of these expenditures will be constant (for example, rent and cable), but others will be variable, meaning they will shift month to month. Set a budget for these variable costs (for example, entertainment) and see whether you can keep to it. Re-evaluate your financial condition at the start of the next month to see where you stand.

4.Perform a thorough cleaning.

Next, begin each new month with a thorough cleaning – your future self will thank you. Aside from routine upkeep, arranging a thorough clean once a month may help keep your home organized, clean, and clutter-free. Make a list of some of the important items you'll accomplish as part of your monthly deep clean, whether you're seeking to Marie Kondo your apartment or just get into a spring cleaning routine. That may just be...

Sweep, 

vacuum, and mop the laundry floors.

Countertops

Bathroom \Garbage's etc.

Getting into a routine of frequent deep cleaning (particularly your fridge - everyone forgets about the fridge!) cleans and organizes your physical area, which we can all agree helps clear your mind.

The beginning of a new month is an exciting time to revitalize and prepare for the month ahead. So, check out these 5 tricks for a fantastic start to the new month. Also, let us know what else you do at the start of a new month in the comments!
