The Four Quarters Method: How to Win Your Day Even When It Starts Badly You slept through your alarm, skipped your morning workout, rushed out the door, had a meeting that didn't go as well as you hoped, and by 11am you've decided the day is ruined.

Everyone's talking about: The 50/30/20 Financial Rule You've probably heard of it: spend 50% of your income on needs, 30% on wants, and save 20%. Simple, right? The 50/30/20 budgeting formula is designed to strike a balance between living your life today and securing your financial future. But the problem is that it doesn't work for everyone. If your rent alone consumes 50% of your take-home pay (hello, London), how are you supposed to fit in groceries, commuter costs, bills, your favourite...
