Next month for me is different. I’m going to still be working, but three years ago, I completed NanoWriMo successfully. Then the next year I worked more and only got halfway finished. I didn’t even bother last year.

This year I decided it is important to me to get back into it and actually meet the goal, so I’m toning down work and going to put more focus into the competition.

The “set up a new calendar” step has been taken care of. That’s always the first thing I do when I prepare myself for a new year. The rest comes as natural consequences.

4. Settle your debts

This is essential! Very few things are as rewarding as starting a new year knowing you’re debt-free.

Alex, I’m probably the most disorganized person I know. However, when it comes to my business, I’m very organized. I don’t believe one can run a successful practice anywhere without being on top of things.

Good luck to you and all of your endeavors.

I want to sort out my old files turning them into archives. This applies to all my online and offline files. I’m also thinking to reformat my system, maybe upgrading it to a more reliable one based form some honest review. I’m also considering taking a short course to broaden my scope of practice. I hope I can do that so I can accept more projects next year. New, clean and organize— my ideal way to start my year.

I try to project the next year, month by month. I find it gets my business in better shape. I also don’t slack off due to the holidays.

As to No. 4; I agree, but massive medical expenses will mean my kids kids will eventually be paying off the bills.
