Wiping the Slate Clean

Well, January is almost over.  How are your New Year’s Resolutions going?

Year after year I would have a list of resolutions and the only thing that was consistent was me not keeping them, year after year.  So I don’t do them anymore!

I do, however, set goals for myself.  I reach my goals by breaking them down into doable tasks.  Completing the tasks over the allotted time I have given myself helps me reach my goal.

I suggest you do the same.  If your resolution is to “get organized this year” turn it into a goal “I will organize one room a month”.  Then break that goal down into tasks.  Work in the space every day, every weekend, etc. for 30 minutes, 1 hour, an entire afternoon, you get the picture.  Whatever amount of time you decide on, honor your decision and don’t forget to use a timer to keep yourself on track.  Completing your tasks will help you achieve your goal of getting that given room organized in a month.

If you do this you will be completely organized by the end of the year.  What a great accomplishment!

Cheers to you and to a season of new beginnings.
