The Weekly Finance Briefing: How to Build the Habit

Building a weekly finance news habit comes down to one move: replace constant checking with a single scheduled session, once a week, with a short list of what to read and what to skip. A weekly is, by definition, a publication issued once a week — The Free Dictionary traces the word to exactly that meaning, and the habit works the same way. You read once, on purpose, and you stop.
