Post-holiday productivity

There’s something about the new year that gives us a push to do the things we’ve been putting off for a while. Whether it’s the inspiration to be better or start the year off with a clean slate, this once-a-year motivation is worth taking advantage of.  

Here’s a list of easy things to knock out in January.  

• Take down holiday decorations and place them in storage.  

• Clean up your email lists and subscriptions.   

• Dedicate a Saturday morning to take care of holiday returns.   

• Do a closet clean out and donate old clothes.  

• Mark your yearly calendar with birthdays and holidays.
