Hey friends Are you in the Christmas spirit but know New Years is quickly approaching? I have been thinking a lot about tasks I like to refresh yearly. It really is easy to do and fun too cause it involves guess what 🛍️and you all know how much I love to shop🛍️

Tasks like this should absolutely be enjoyable. Come on we are planning out our future for the new year and we want it to be awesome right? Okay so no worries cause I’ve got you covered. I have been doing this for years. In fact I am a certified Franklin Planner graduate. No really I did take the course spent some big dollars (it was so worth it) and it keeps me on tasks as well.

It’s easy if I can do it so can you!

Easy peasy only three easy steps!

First: Supples you may already have: planner/phone or both.

Second: Fill in your weekly tasks/events ex: lunch w/ a friend.

A desk calendar (optional) on the blog I talk about this: Thrift Treasure Tuesday my most favorite Christmas find🎄honestly!

Third: Check tasks/events AM

This looks and sounds easy and it really is because no one knows your life better than you. You have control to decide what’s happening and how you will handle it in your daily life.

There are so many planners available shopping on line or different retail stores like an office store http://staples.com

Through the years I have tried so many different types. I have found a compact one http://katiedaisy.com works best because I can just slip it in my purse or backpack. It is not bulky but there is still lots of writing space.

Because I am a visual person I love the design color and beautiful art work. I have been using Katie’s planner for three years now and I am in love.

I prefer planners that have a full month calendar on one page or two. Also I like the week to be on two pages enough room for my weekly notes. Speaking of notes if it has note section as well that is super.

A pocket in the front or back would be great. An elastic band to hold it closed so l don’t lose any important papers is something I prefer as well.

Okay friends now look for something that will work best for you and your lifestyle. If you would like to chat or have any questions or comments send them along. I would be more than happy to help.

Tomorrow is the day before New Year’s Eve I will be sharing some of my favorite dishes on the episode “Foodie Fun Friday”Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Best Regards Dana
