Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.625 + -0.25m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.625' to each side of the equation.
-0.625 + -0.25m + 0.625 + m2 = 0 + 0.625

Reorder the terms:
-0.625 + 0.625 + -0.25m + m2 = 0 + 0.625

Combine like terms: -0.625 + 0.625 = 0.000
0.000 + -0.25m + m2 = 0 + 0.625
-0.25m + m2 = 0 + 0.625

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.625 = 0.625
-0.25m + m2 = 0.625

The m term is -0.25m.  Take half its coefficient (-0.125).
Square it (0.015625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.015625' to each side of the equation.
-0.25m + 0.015625 + m2 = 0.625 + 0.015625

Reorder the terms:
0.015625 + -0.25m + m2 = 0.625 + 0.015625

Combine like terms: 0.625 + 0.015625 = 0.640625
0.015625 + -0.25m + m2 = 0.640625
