January: How does your desk look? If you can't find it, celebrate National Clean Off Your Desk Day by clearing the clutter and give yourself a great workspace.
February: For Valentine's Day, honor yourself! Create a beautiful environment conducive to your happiness and productivity. Do you have proper storage space and systems, a pleasing arrangement of furniture, and minimal clutter?
March: Financial organization review: Do you have functional systems for receipts, bills, statements, bookkeeping, and tax preparation?
April: Time for Spring Cleaning of your wardrobe! Do you like the way your clothes are organized, or do you panic as you face the chaos in your closet and drawers each morning? Review & update your closet and professional image to reflect you and your work.
May: How's your health? Look at your calendar . . . how often do you play and relax? Is that doctor visit long overdue? Create ways to live a healthier, more balanced and enjoyable life.
June: Take advantage of summer's sustained energy and organize those files -- paper and electronic. Edit, systematize, categorize, color-code, clearly label, and create smiling files.
July: It's party time: 4th of July picnics & summer evening BBQs! Get your database and contact management systems up-to-date.

August: Back to school preparation begins. Purge last year's papers, school projects and artwork. Keep the memorabilia and recycle the rest.
September: Autumn Harvest Time: Do you have room for a new harvest, or are you feeling crowded? Learn to let go of your "stuff" (physical, mental, emotional, social), so you can reap and renew.
October: National Get Organized Week is the first full week of October! Make a list of your organizing projects and schedule time to tackle them.
November: Start holiday planning now before the big rush. It's also time to give thanks. Start a daily Gratitude Log. You'll be more focused, need less, and realize how fortunate you are. Make Thank You calls to all who supported you this past year.
December: Complete the current year and create the next: What are your commitments, vision and priorities for the upcoming year? Celebrate the closing of this year and welcome in the next!
