Tips for After Winter Holidays
Decoration Storage
1. Start sorting. If you don't like it, throw it out or give it
away.
2. Gather appropriate boxes, bags and containers to store decorations.
3. Label boxes/containers on all four sides. If you have several boxes
of decorations, categorize by room or in the order to open them.
4. Store like with like. “Anything with a cord or on a string should
be wrapped around a piece of cardboard and stored in the same box,
store spare bulbs in the same container. Store wrapping paper removed
from the cardboard tube and folded flat. “Creases won’t hurt the
paper. Place ribbons, labels and fancy tags in food storage bags. Fill
bags of bows with air to help bows keep their shape. Pack and stack
special holiday dishes in zipper bags, sometimes called China Savers.
Place suction cups and hooks in the same box as lights or ornaments.
Wrap delicate ornaments in paper towels or tissue paper to provide
extra cushioning and protection. Artificial wreaths often come in a
box that's ideal for storage. Other options include Rubbermaid's
flexible Wreath Storage Bag, with handles to hang in a garage or
closet, or a flat under-the-bed storage box. Garbage bags are handy,
but do little to protect the shape or decorations on the wreath.
Follow these steps and unpacking next winter should be a breeze. For additional Tips & Ideas

Get the Cow off Your Desk And the Monkey off Your Back- Part

It’s all about paper flow and time management
Organize your file drawers
This is an ideal time to use
boxed-bottomed hanging files when you have the ability to hang them.
This allows for easier movement in the file drawers, and keeps
anything from becoming so bulky you can’t open the folder (or put
something into it) without removing the entire file. There is a list
at the end of my chapter for the kind of hanging files I recommend
(several brands I absolutely do not recommend, because they’re
just not sturdy enough to endure).
Think about the best way to present your
files to your (or someone else’s) eye. Alphabetically? By area or
topic? Chronologically? A combination?
As you rearrange the files, make sure
each folder contains information you currently use or need. If not,
remove it from the active drawer and put it in an archives drawer or
just discard it. Make new folders as you identify a need for them.
When a folder gets particularly large, just use the crease marks near
the fold to create a boxed bottom folder or split the file and have
two, making sure that they are both appropriately labeled. I also
recommend that you only allow a file to get to be 1-1/2 inches thick
and no more.
Sort the banker box piles into the file
drawers
Now that you have your files Shuffled,
Hanging, Removed, Organized and Fixed, it’s time to take your papers
and piles and put them in the proper locations. You’ll have them off
your desk once and for all, and your Cow will be gone!

Discover Why Goal Setters Succeed
And How You Can Too
by Joe Rispoli
Why do some people work so hard and yet never find success? Why do
some people achieve everything and yet seem to hardly work at all?
Everyone has heard the news. Goal-setters succeed! Listen to any
successful entrepreneur or professional and they all seem to talk
about dreams and goals. Not the ones they think about occasionally or
just hope for. But these are goals and dreams that have moved them to
action and created passion in their lives. Yes, goals can create
miracles and accomplishment.
Success is available to everyone. People who have established
long-term goals and have worked hard to accomplish them have decided
in their minds what they can do in their lives.
So, what is the secret to setting goals? The mind. Everything you want
to happen can, if you just put your mind to it.
Is success a dream that lasts for a few hours, and then, puff, it's
gone? No. Set it in your mind that you will accomplish a specific task
and then think about it day and night until you find the means to make
it real. We become what we think.
The world is constantly changing around us, accepting change and
adapting to it can help us strive for success. You can control your
mind but not the world around you. Although we do have some control
over how change occurs in our lives through the decisions we make,
what about the economy, natural disasters, and death? What we can do
is take control by adapting to change, and moving forward.
The path to success is not without difficulties. Do not get
discouraged and then not take action. People like to discourage others
from taking chances, and most of them are probably not successful.
Listen to others, but decide for yourself what action to take.
Remember that success is accomplished by setting goals and then taking
action. Anyone can do nothing, but those who are successful have taken
action.
The person who thinks about nothing, becomes nothing.
What do most successful people have? A mentor. Why? A mentor can
challenge you while providing the support you need. They can help you
determine where you are and where you want to go.
What should a mentor provide?
They should:
1. Help with decisions by providing a different viewpoint.
2. Provide support and accountability.
3. Minimize your effort by offering advice on how to reach your goals.
4. Provide a means for you to express your concerns and ideas while
helping to provide solutions that are not so obvious.
How can you begin?
1. Understand fully that we become what we think. We must take control
of our thoughts if we want to take control of our lives. This is
critical.
2. We need to understand that any limitations that we have are
self-imposed and that the opportunities that are available today are
available to everyone.
3. Think positively when dealing with problems.
4. Set clearly defined goals. Let your mind dwell on your goals from
different angles and it will come up with many possible solutions.
5. We must act decisively when required and when our course is clear.
What good are our ideas if we do not act on them?
6. Believe in yourself. Understand that there is nothing to stop you
from accomplishing your purpose. Persistence is required for success
to be acquired.
Three Barriers to Success
1. Fear. What fear is keeping you from achieving your dreams? Is it a
fear of failure? Fear of success? Whenever this fear begins to appear
just ask yourself: what's the worst thing that could happen? Then move
forward in confidence knowing that whatever does happen will far
outweigh the failure of doing nothing.
2. Not Knowing. Some people use the lack of knowledge as an excuse for
not setting goals and becoming successful. Just because you may not
know all the details, is no reason to not pursue your dreams. Everyone
can make a difference by venturing into the unknown. Set a goal to
gain the knowledge that you need to move forward and take control of
your life and find success.
3. Negative People. Avoid them! You should associate with others who
will encourage you and gets excited with you as you strive to achieve
your goals and desires. Do you spend more time with goal makers or
goal breakers?
Success will take courage and perseverance. Many people start but only
successful people finish.
One of the most important decisions you will ever make is to determine
what you want. Decide now. Have a goal in mind. Work continuously
toward your goal and it will one day become reality.
But here's the catch--You can't give up!
Copyright 2006 by Joe Rispoli About The Author: Joe Rispoli has
been involved in Network marketing for over 10 years. He believes in
the power of goal setting. It provides focus. It shapes our dreams.

Companies lose as much
as $3,000 a year per employee
Valerie Simpson, president of A to Z Organizing Pros®, a Phoenix-based organization consulting company says
that disorganization, clutter and inefficiency can cost companies as
much as $3,000 a year per employee.
“People should make lists and prioritize them so they can make the
most of the time they have. We have a tendency as human beings to do
the things that are easiest. It’s more efficient to do the most
urgent ones first. The people who are disciplined to make those
lists themselves and prioritize them, based on feedback from others,
can avoid resentment for those tasks and increase their motivation.”
