January's Monthly Motivators

To Do Lists to Motivate You in Seven Areas.  It's Easy to Get Organized!

1.  Your Home.  The holiday rush is over.  Consider rearranging the furniture in your home to afford greater organizing options where you need them.  Move an armoire to the family room to hold games or a bookcase to the playroom for toys.

2.  Your Family.  Help your family get organized this month.  Buy a large wipe-off calendar and color-code by person.  Read "Your Complete Guide to Organized Parenting" for over 100 pages of tips, ideas and instructions on organizing your family.

3.  Your Health.  Call your doctor today and make an appointment for a complete physical.  Make sure you celebrate many more new years.

4.  Your Stuff.  The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to declutter and organize your life.  Start with one small area, complete it before moving on, and give yourself a reward upon completion.  Check out the guides, "Simply Organize Your Home" and "Simply Organize Your Office." 

5.  Your Money.   A budget doesn't have to be scary.  Simply make two columns:  incoming and outgoing.  Do what needs to be done until incoming exceeds outgoing.  See a credit counselor and financial planner for help.

6.  Your Job.   What is your dream job?  Set a goal to have that job in one year, five years, 15 years -- the time frame isn't important.  What is important, is that you have a goal, write down the steps need to accomplish that goal and consistently work toward the goal.

7.  The Holidays.     Buy plastic containers on sale this month for all your holiday decorations.  Store holiday dishes and cookbooks with the decorations.  Label well.
