Simplicity
by Carolyn ~ January 5th, 2009. Filed under: Simplicity.
1. Celebrate last year - what was great?
2. Forgive someone for a clean slate.
3. Set aside an hour to work on little, neglected to dos (Check out get it done day).
4. Take a walk and enjoy the season.
5. Schedule time at least one day a month for the next year just for you.
6. Consolidate so you have just one planner.
7. Plan a monthly menu - ask everyone’s favorite meals. (If a month sounds like too much, try one week).
* Create a new file folder for Taxes 2007
* Sort through your pile of papers
* File any unfiled papers
* Write birthdays and important dates in your calendar
* Decide on a to do system for the year
* Update your address book with your Christmas cards
* Think of a theme for the next year ie: energy, action, gratitude, serenity (Post your theme in the comments)
* Make a list of incompletions: projects not finished, things to fix, people to respond to, bookkeeping, email, overdue items, clutter, promises not kepts
* Plan some fun for Jan and Feb
For later in January:
* Update home inventory
* Bring your email in box to empty
* Review or set up your spending plan
* Finish as many incompletions as possible so you can make room for the new

I love receiving Beth’s newsletter and suggestions each week. This is her list for this week, which included a link to her list from last year. I have bolded the ones I would like to accomplish this month — and drew a line through the ones I probably won’t do. 2009 is a year of moving forward. No more status quo. No more just staying where I’m at, miserable and unhappy. With every little accomplishment comes a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that I am moving forward.
