A New Year marks a rebirth and new beginning. It's also the time when we set goals for ourselves to improve upon the prior year. In the past you may have set a resolution (probably to later be disappointed) to lose those extra 5 or 10 pounds, or that you would learn a new language, or even travel the world. This year, why don't you point toward something that you know can be accomplished? Get organized!
Getting organized is almost on every top ten New Years resolutions list you'll find, but it's actually a good, reasonable goal to make. It is not always easy, but it can be done. During our day to day activities, we often don't take the time to put everything in its appropriate place, leaving us searching for that address we scribbled down on a piece of paper or that great recipe we clipped from a magazine. Make 2011 the year where this doesn't happen to you anymore. Make the effort to finally have everything organized.
Start by organizing your 2010 photos into albums and scrapbooks. There are many different albums and scrapbooks to choose from. Next, think about how you organize your addresses. Is your current address book up-to-date? If you are looking for a new one or want to start fresh, keep in mind size limitations and how you will use it. If you plan to keep it with you at all times, does it fit in your purse, messenger back, backpack, or briefcase? Or will you keep it at your office or at home where a desk sized organizer may work better. Some address books can be refillable and often hold up to 600 entries!
There are plenty of kitchen gadgets and containers for organizing food in your fridge, but have you taken the time to organize your take-out menus, recipes, and coupons? Did you even know you could buy such a thing? Many people find that having a single place to organize all their favorite take-out menus, recipes and coupons makes eating in, cooking, and grocery shopping much easier!
So this year, make your resolution one that is achievable and will leave you organized for years to come.
