Each year as we start the new year, we think of ways to make a change and improve our lives.\u00a0 Did you know that organizing is one of the top three goals each year?\u00a0 Throughout the month of January, I will be offering 31 tips to help you have Your Most Organized Year Ever.\u00a0 Implement just one of these tips, tools, techniques or tweaks this year.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you have notes written on the back of envelopes, paper plates or whatever?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are small piles of post it notes everywhere?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Feel like your to do’s are over the top?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Task lists<\/a>, aka to do lists, are a great way to consolidate information. You may have tasks in your email, from meetings or monthly reports that need to be done.\u00a0 Having it all consolidated on one task list makes it easy to keep track of all these details.\u00a0 It’s a visual reminder and easier than trying to remember it all in your head.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your task list could be as simple as a spiral notebook.\u00a0 Be sure it’s easy to carry with you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your task list could be an app.\u00a0 My clients love Evernote<\/a> and Toodledoo<\/a>.\u00a0 My personal favorite is Notes, which looks like a small post it note on your smart phone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your task list could be a series of post it notes stuck on a wall.\u00a0 You can peel them off as you finish each task.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make this Your Most Organized Year Ever with a task list.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Check out these apps <\/a>and see what will work for you.<\/p>\n
