Wanting to help you reach your goals this year, this is my guide to new year’s resolution!
For me, the new year means a fresh start. I know there are people who prefer not to make “resolutions.” Other people want to jump all in and make LOTS of resolutions. I fall somewhere in between that. I like the time to look back and reflect on the last year and to look forward to the new year. But I don’t love the pressure of resolutions. This post is meant to inspire and encourage you to tackle the things you’ve always wanted and/or needed to do. Even if you do just a couple, you’ll be ahead of where you were last year, right?
To help your new year start off with a bang, you should get my All Inclusive Binder. It’s my brand new, updated version and it will really help you feel organized!

How to be organized
People are often surprised to find out that I’m not organized. I share A LOT about organization but if you came to my house you’d see how there are things everywhere and not everything has a place. It’s a constant goal for me to be organized and something I have to work hard for every day.
