New Years Resolutions

I have one main New Years Resolution, to be less wasteful of time, money, energy, and resources. I will stay positive no matter what happens because I know all things are possible when you surround yourself with amazing people! Every year I say this year will be my best ever...and despite crazy setbacks, it always is. I always end up right where I'm meant to be :) Here's what I'm going to do:

• See close family members at least every 6 months, or more often if they are nearby. Skype with those who aren't at least once a month and talk on the phone or through text at least once a week.
• Open all mail and paperwork as soon as I get it. Recycle what I don't need, then write out checks or make automatic payments right away. File away important paperwork immediately. No more clutter!

• Put away shoes and hang up clothes after wearing or deciding not to wear them.
• Go through my closet and dresser once a month to donate clothes I don't wear.
• Clip coupons and actually use them before they expire.

• Use coupon and discount codes before hitting "buy" online.
• Leave all items in my online "cart" for at least 24 hours before buying.
• Only buy what I can eat within 2 weeks of purchase.
• Keep my purse and car extremely organized. 

• Load dirty dishes into the dishwasher as soon as they are done being used and empty it as soon as they are clean.
• Sew any holes or missing buttons back on as soon as I notice it. Otherwise I'll wait months!
• Watch what I say and how I say it before I say it.
