Finally, the year has come to an end and you may be overwhelmed by all the unfinished tasks on your agenda. You may be tempted to jump right on to your new goals and tasks for 2017 but hold on a minute.
Here are 3 simple tips to help you wrap your year successfully.
Tip 1 – Clear Your Pending Debts
You don’t want to start the New Year with the previous year’s debts. Even if you can’t pay it all off, try paying off little at a time. Maybe you can make a monthly goal to pay certain amount towards your debt. At the same time make it your goal not to add unnecessary debts by living beyond your means.
Tip 2 – Sort Out the Mess
Whatever the mess may be, declutter that mess! Whether it is your closet, your kitchen, inbox or your work desk, things gather and sit there gathering dust. Find the time, mood and the motivation to sort the clutter that you can donate, give away or even have a garage sale. You may not be able to apply the same strategy to other areas of the mess, but you can certainly unsubscribe to newsletters and arrange your inbox.
Tip 3 – Take Time to Reflect
Before you go on to write your new goals for 2017, take some time to reflect on how 2016 has been for you. Ponder on areas where you struggled, pat your back on areas where you improved, and motivate yourself on areas where growth is essential. Being mindful about your inner-self is a part of growth mindset you would like to cultivate.
Above all, don’t forget to celebrate your everyday life by focusing on the sunshine rather than the hail.
Have a grateful heart and a joyful soul as you enter the New Year 2017.
