Sarah Knight on Why You Need a “F*ck Budget” How different would your life be if you only devoted your time, money, and energy to things that you genuinely care about? by Carrie M. King | 2018-09-11.....xxx (BUT ... initially I read the title as ..Getting a 'fuckit' budget, \\\ADHD //and my mind jumped....to see A budget account that you direct cash to, to do those things that make you say "Fuck it, I'll do it." And I loved the idea. Perhaps everyone has these pots, and maybe IT IS A thing. But reading the piece through properly I see its about being generous with the things, (as in time, money, love, attention, resources and reciprocity) that you do actually give a fuck about, and pulling back from everything else...So yeah, good....But I still think MY version is better, where you create a money budget to divert cashflow into a 'fuck it' account, So it goes like this.... "I'll just check my 'fuck it account', and YES, Fuck it , I'll do it !!! Michaela.

So this is something I read only briefly, and actually read it as a 'Fuckit Budget', without reading on and my mind jumped. https://www.blinkist.com/magazine/posts/need-fck-budget XXXXX The article is in: Blinklist.com """" Sarah Knight’s book covers are instantly recognizable.

Listen now on the Blinkist app. And in a world that cashes in on people’s cares and anxieties, this message has resonated with millions of readers. Her five No Fucks Given Guides — as well as their accompanying journals and calendars — offer readers a way to care more about what they want and less about people-pleasing. This doesn’t mean you have to suddenly become a jerk. It just means knowing what you really want from life and learning to be firm and resolute about it. But, if you’ll excuse the cliché, that’s easier said than done. How are you supposed to figure out how to divide your time, energy, and money? How are you supposed to know what really matters? Knight has a simple solution: you need to devise a “fuck budget.” Erm, sorry, what? Yes, you read that right: you need a fuck budget. A fuck budget is the amount of fucks you are prepared to give to any one thing, on any given day. If you say you give a fuck about something, that means you care about it. And if you care about something, that means you’re willing to spend your time, energy, and money on it. But you’re only one person and you only have so many fucks to give. That’s why you need to budget accordingly. “…you can deplete [your fuck budget] in the same way that you could deplete a financial budget. So, if you are overbooked on the calendar, and you’re overwhelmed with a to-do list, and you’re overburdened by people’s expectations of you – those are all fucks that you are giving.” — Sarah Knight speaking on Simplify So, if your fucks = your time, money, and energy, it becomes easier to see what’s worth giving a fuck about and what’s not. What is the best use of all those things? What will bring you fulfillment and happiness? Knight has a method that can help you decide. “Your mind is […] stuffed with every single thing that you’ve been asked to give a fuck about, whether you want to or not. […] Sit down and make a list, just write out all of those things and that itself is pretty therapeutic. Then go over the list and just hover over each item with a fat black magic marker and think, “Do I really give a fuck? Do I care about this thing? And do I want to give my fucks to it?” And if the answer is no, you cross it out.” — Sarah Knight speaking on Simplify At the end of this process, you should have a clear list of things to which you really want to devote yourself. By budgeting the time, energy, and money that you are willing to give to anything, you quickly become better at prioritizing. Whether it’s work that you really care about, or people that you really want to help, or TV shows that you actually want to see rather than just watching them for the sake of it, you’ll start to feel more in control of how you spend your life.
