I love New Years…the idea of having a fresh start every year thrills me! I make New Years Plans…and sometimes I follow through and sometimes I don’t. It is like everything else, the law of averages is on my side. If I try enough new things…something good happens.To prepare for the New Year, I have to get rid of all the stuff that didn’t work last year. Here are some tips for clearing the way; get busy because we have a lot to do before January 1, 2013!
- Clean out the pantry and the refrigerator.
- Clean out your closet.
- Clear off your desk.
- Get rid of last years calendar.
- Put the Christmas decorations away.
- Give away any furniture pieces that you no longer use or just clutter up your room.
- Throw away any broken or chipped plates or glasses.
- Get rid of the socks with holes.
- Throw away empty bottles, toothpaste tubes, and old makeup in the bathroom.
- Toss any medicines that are out of date.
- Fill your pantry and fridge with healthy foods.
- Have a nice clean 2013 calendar ready to go
- Get a nice fresh clean body brush, toothbrush and tongue scraper for 2013
- Make a plan….schedule everything you wish you would have done in 2012 and did not.
- Clear up any misunderstandings with friends and relatives …start fresh on January 1.
What will you do to be sure that 2013 is an epic year? Let me know below.
Ah! Me too! Better than a spring clean this year! I’m also going through my digital clutter (pictures, computer programs I don’t use anymore, unsubscribing from mailing lists), and doing a big refresh with my business plan. Great chance to start new!
Good for you Loralee…I just had a strong urge to make a wall calendar and write all over it! It takes a long time to unsubscribe from mailing lists…but you shouldn’t have to do it again for about 5 more years. ~Cathy
I’m tempted to send you pics of mine! I found 2 huge white boards while moving this month & they’re up on my new office wall. They’re temporarily holding space for my 2013 calendar (Leonie Dawsons planner) & lots and lots of scribbles while I analyzed my current business flow (and what tools I was using that worked) and that’s flowing into a “to-do” list of things I need to add to make my customer experience better & business easier to manage during 2013. Want to share pics?
Definitely Loralee! I thought about getting Leonie’s calendar a couple times. Those white boards have to be inspirational! I would love that…or one whole chalk board wall! ~Cathy
