Design a 15-minute weekly money check-in. Tools I use (spreadsheet, app, paper): [TOOLS]. Day and time that suits me: [DAY_TIME]. What I tend to avoid looking at: [AVOIDANCES]. Write the routine as a numbered agenda with minutes: balance check, upcoming bills in the next 14 days, transactions to categorise, one question about progress, and one adjustment. Provide a checklist version for my phone, and a script of five questions that ends on the next action rather than a score. Include a rule for what to do when I miss a week, and a monthly extension that adds a 30-minute review. Make it easy to start, with the first session involving only the balance and upcoming bills. Do not recommend financial products. Give two worked examples of a finished check-in, one for a calm week and one for a week with an unexpected bill, so that I can see what the notes should look like. Add a list of triggers that should move a check-in earlier, such as a failed payment or a balance below my floor, and a line about celebrating a completed check-in rather than only a good result. You are teaching, not advising. Avoid telling me what to buy or sell, and note where a qualified professional should check tax or legal points for [JURISDICTION].
