Whether you call it a "resolution" or not, do you have something you are planning to change this year?There is something about coming back after the holidays and wanting to start "fresh". This year, I want to start FLYing...... On the ground. ;). I have been reading FLYLADY's book and starting my babysteps. If i can FLY, it will allow me to gain control of the "chaos" in my home, including meal planning, declutter, etc....the things that stress me so much. And i feel if that stress is reduced, my PC business will benefit, as will my other areas in life.
I am very excited actually. For those who know about Flylady...... i shined my sink today. WOW it looks good. Who knew!So what are you changing?

I love Flylady! Following her wisdom and steps and philosophy on some things really helped me several years ago. I got off track and CHAOS has crept back into my life. So, I'm going to try doing things her way again. (and this is why I came up with my screen name years ago...it was my signature line when I'd email Flylady or go on the forums...because I'm not an expert and I'm learning the ropes, so I have baby wings and hope to FLY soon.) :)
 
I have decided to set monthly goals this year. So right now I am working on my goals for January and February. I am doing this for my business, as well as my personal life. It's too hard to try to think of accomplishing something by the end of the year. Much easier to just think - "I can make it to the end of the month!"
 
My big "change" is that I am sending out all my invitations for hosts (email and snail mail) and making reminder calls. I too am making goals for the month (to correspond with goals for the year). So far I have not had resistance to having hosts turn over address, email, and phone numbers. I think it's all in the wording ("I'm making it really easy for you....").

Love flylady too. Was a big fly girl when my boys were young, and some of the habits have stuck- like "shining" my sink. I don't so much shine it but I keep it empty and wiped. I also make my bed-makes the rest of the room look clean even when there are piles of clothes to be put away on the chairs!
 
I resolve not to make any resolutions.That way, I can make it and break it in one step and save time.:D
 
I usually don't make resolutions, but my GOALS are to become more organized and decluttered as well as to step up my business by stop making excuses and put all my effort into it.
 
I made very secific resolutions so I'd actually reach them.I'm going to run a 5k this Spring
I'm going to learn to Knit
I'm going to explore Okinawa
I'm going to scrapbook
I'm going to read all the books in our house (hopefully before I DL anymore lol)I'm also working on decluttering my house and trying to clean everyday
