January Seasonal Tips 1

January Seasonal Tips 1

          Well I suspect this would be an easy one.  :)  It is time for most of us to gather up all of the Christmas Decorations if it hasn't been done already.  These simple tips can be included for those who may not have celebrated the Season.  I have a few thrown in there for you as well!

1. Gather all the boxes and bins you need to store your decorations.  Also grab twist ties and such to tie up lights and such so that you may save on next years sanity.  :)
2. Have an extra bin in a room for the rest of the month.  I'm sure that this has happened to the best of us more than once.  You have found something that just gets stuck elsewhere or you tripped over it later when you thought everything was put away!  Keep the bin and add to it as you go through January.  You may have a small bundle or a whole bucket full.  At least next year you will know where you stuffed it all!  :)

New Year's Related.

1. Agenda.  Grab them up.  I confess I need three.  YES, I said three.  For for carrying for business, my main business written in one and the house one!  Three.  Collect any school, work calenders and enter the dates of special events involved with each.  Check in your yearly appointments and special dates.  A few minutes now doesn't leaving you wondering what you forgot later.
2. Take the resolutions and make them goal orientated.  Making flexible and reasonable goals makes more sense.  Having a developed plan with motivators and support go along further than a basic statement of "I will"  no matter how much enthusiasm is thrown in. 

How do you keep track of the new year?
