| Anything But Business as Usual
Yes. It's only another calendar day. But, for some reason, January 1st inspires us to reevaluate, recalculate, and revitalize our businesses.
To help you close out the old year and start the New Year, here are suggestions to get you started.
Personally, for annual goal-setting, I set aside a half-day in December and another session in January. I leave the office and go somewhere quiet to reflect and write my goals and plans to make my business a success for the year.

Imagine an Organized New Year!
It's a new year. Feeling uplifted, ready and refreshed? Or exhausted from the holiday planning, too many people and the economy?
Feel sad that guests are gone and you're let down now that the holidays are over? Feel impassioned by a new start for your business? After the holiday rush, it's typical to experience conflicting emotions.
This issue will help you sort it all out and get a move on for the New Year. We'll help you get rid of the old and ring in the new.
Our home organizing article addresses the sometimes tedious task of de-decorating after a big holiday. It includes tips for getting the house back to normal and for winning the wrestling match with your holiday décor.

The House --Undecorated
Decorating is fun and festive, isn't it? It makes the house look new and inviting and adds a glimmer of interest to your daily activities during December.
But, undecorating in January can be a letdown. Have you ever been tempted to toss everything into one box and shove it in the basement or attic so the house gets back to normal quickly? That can spell disaster.
Read on for my best post-holiday tips and toast to an organized New Year !

Business Organizing Question --Ask Sue
Q. I'm always rushing from one meeting to the next, one conference call to the next, from appointments to my home office. How can I slow down and be on time more often? A. When you book appointments in your calendar, add your travel time to and from the meeting. If you don't travel, add in an extra 15 minutes per appointment. This gives you a mental breather to get ready for the next appointment. If you're early to an appointment, have reading with you, or your action/to do list, so you can fill the time usefully. Use the reminder feature on your phone, set to 15 minutes before your next meeting. You can start each meeting with "I have a hard stop at XYZ time."
You'll be on time and get a mental break!
