New Year is all
about beginnings – looking forward to what’s in store for us in the coming
year. But the New Year is also about looking back and reflecting on the changes
we want (or need) to make. With this in mind, we spawn a long list of
resolutions and cross our fingers in hopes of keeping them.
On anyone’s goal
for the New Year, getting organized consistently makes it to the list. Whether
you want to organize your home so you can invite more friends over or your work
place so you can be more productive, putting things in place is always a smart
idea. Unfortunately, many of our resolutions are forgotten by the time February
and March roll in. With the right tools, you can stick to your resolutions and
embrace the upcoming year with hope and purpose.
3M Philippines
along with Post-it® and Scotch® Brands share some New Year’s resolutions for a
more organized and well-rounded 2012:
1. Resolve to maximize
your calendar. Your calendar will help you keep track of your dates,
meetings, activities, vacations as well as important anniversaries and
birthdays. As the year gets busier, you can be assured that you won’t forget important
dates and won’t have to keep wracking your overtaxed mind to remember them.
Whether you use a small organizer or a big wall calendar, Post-it®
Notes can help you stick to this resolution.
2. Resolve to get
fit and healthy. Even the smallest changes can make a big difference in
your fitness and health regimen. Leave yourself reminders to take even just 10
minutes to get off the chair and walk around the block. Keep a shopping list of
healthy foods or a list of substitutes for your favorite junk foods such as baked
potatoes in place of French fries or unsalted pretzels and popcorn rather than
potato chips. Jot them down on Post-it® Notes Ruled Pad or you can
even opt to use Post-it® Super Sticky Notes which are perfect for
vertical and hard-to-stick surfaces. These notes hold stronger and longer than
other notes so you can be sure to remind yourself that you don’t have to make
great sacrifices to be healthy.
3. Resolve to manage your expenses. Learn to control
your spending by planning your budget ahead of time. List your regular sources
of income and expected expenses such as rent, monthly mobile phone bill and
groceries. This way, you can already get a picture of where your money goes,
putting you in control of your finances.
4. Resolve to spend more time with those you love. When you create
your calendar, plan vacations ahead of time because more often than not, work
will intrude on the precious moments you can get with your loved ones. A
weekend away with the family or even just a night out with friends is sure to
build good memories that will last the rest of your life. Stick Post-it® Notes
on your calendar for details like where, when and with whom you will spend your
time with.
5.
Resolve to stick to your resolutions. Your resolutions are made so
you can enjoy the coming year better than the last. But remember that these
resolutions are for the long run and need a lot of effort in order to create
the right habits. Help yourself out by making a list of your resolutions and
sticking them on your wall. Make it your own by customizing it any way you want
– through words, pictures or sketches. Use Scotch® Reusable Mounting
Products to avoid damaging your walls. They come in tabs, sheets and strips
that remove easily and cleanly so you can remove and relocate them quickly.
Through its
innovative products, 3M Philippines can help you turn your resolutions into a
reality so you can have the best year yet!
