My New Year’s Resolutions for 2026

My New Year’s Resolutions for 2026  

There’s something about the start of a new year that feels like a deep breath. It’s that little pause between what’s behind me and what’s ahead — a moment to reset and realign. This year, instead of setting unrealistic resolutions, I’m choosing goals that feel meaningful and sustainable — things that actually add peace, balance, and joy to my life.  

Simplify and create more calm

I’ve realized that clutter — in my home, schedule, or even my head creates unnecessary stress. So this year is about simplifying. I want to let go of what doesn’t serve me, whether that’s stuff, habits, or overcommitments. Even small wins, like organizing one corner of my home or clearing digital clutter, feel grounding and intentional.  

Prioritize health in a kind way

I’m done with all-or-nothing health goals. Instead, I’m focusing on balance — eating more whole foods, moving in ways that feel good, and getting outside whenever I can. I want my routines to support how I want to feel every day: energized, strong, and calm, not burned out or restricted.  

Protect my time and energy

This one is big for me. I’ve noticed how easy it is to say yes to everything, only to end up stretched thin. This year, I’m being more intentional about how I spend my time. I’m saying “no” when I need to, and choosing rest, creativity, and connection over busyness.  

Strengthen financial confidence

I’m focusing on growing not just wealth, but peace of mind. I want to plan smarter, save consistently, and spend on things that truly add value. For me, financial growth isn’t just about numbers it’s about freedom, stability, and feeling secure in the choices I make.  
I love using AI to calculate scenarios, You should try it. I love the example If I save 10 dollars a day by no going to Starbucks and invest it instead how much money will I have in 2 years.

Key Inputs for AI

• Daily deposit: $10 (total principal: $7,300).

• Annual rate: 14% (daily rate: 0.14/365 ≈ 0.0003836).

• Periods: 730 days (2 years × 365).
  The investment grows to approximately $8,752. This includes about $1,452 in interest earned from daily compounding
  thanks AI for running that scenario for me!

Keep learning and staying curious

I’ve always believed that growth keeps life interesting. Whether it’s taking an online course, reading something inspiring, or learning a new life skill, I want to stay open and curious. I’m giving myself permission to explore what excites me . So far I signed up for 3 events that help me grow as a person. More to come.

My hope for 2026 isn’t perfection!! it’s progress I can feel. I need More calm, more balance, and more gratitude for where I am right now. Here’s to a year of simplifying, growing, and appreciating the small moments in between.  One step at a time. One small change leads to big changes down the road.

Do you have 1000 messages in your in box and many are items you need to action?

The email dread and overwhelm!! We all experience it.  Do you have 1000 messages in your in box of items you need to action?  Yikes..

Email  keeps us hostage sometimes, even keeps us from doing what we want and can often feel like an obligation.

Email can be an incredibly powerful tool for effective communication and organization, but it can also become overwhelming if you don't have a solid system in place to manage it properly. Here are some helpful tips for effectively managing your email:

1. Create folders and labels to organize your email. This can significantly help you keep track of important messages and easily find exactly what you're looking for when you need it. I like to create labels for people, or topics such as individual customers, projects or events. Eliminates lots of “searching” Then flag the important messages from those people or that topic.

2. Use Smart Mail boxes for MAC This is my all time favourite. If you haven’t set up a smart mail box you have no idea what you are missing. Is the holy grail of email organization.

3. Unsubscribe from emails you no longer wish to receive. This straightforward action will help reduce the number of emails cluttering up your inbox, making it much easier to manage your communications.

4. Use the "delete" and "archive" functions to keep your inbox clean and tidy. If you no longer need an email, don't hesitate to delete it. Conversely, if you need to keep it for reference but don’t want it in your inbox, be sure to archive it. Better yet SMART mail box it!

5. Utilize the "snooze" function to temporarily remove emails from your inbox. This feature can be particularly helpful when you need to focus on other important tasks and want to avoid distractions from incoming emails.

6. Set aside specific times of the day to check and respond to emails. This approach can help you stay focused throughout your day and avoid the urge to constantly check your inbox.

Managing your email effectively takes a bit of discipline and organization, but it's undoubtedly worth the effort. By following a few practical tips and discovering a system that works best for you, you can take charge of your email and use it as a powerful tool to help you stay organized and productive throughout your busy day.

Hope these few tips give you strength and satisfaction when you are able to tame the bear of email.

Getting & STAYING Organized Needs a System for Sucess

Being organized can make a huge difference in your daily life. It can save you time, reduce stress, and help you stay focused and productive. We compiled a few of our favorite tips for getting and staying organized:

1. Declutter and create clear space. Take some time to declutter and get rid of things you no longer need or use. This will help you see what you have and make it easier to get organized.

2. Create a system that works for you. Whether it's using a planner, creating to-do lists, or using a digital tool like Asana, find a system that works for you and stick with it.

3. Set aside specific times for tasks. Instead of trying to do everything at once, set aside specific times for different tasks. For example, you might dedicate the first hour of your day to checking emails and the second hour to tackling a big project.

4. Use storage solutions to stay organized. Whether it's bins, baskets, or shelves, having designated places for your things can help you stay organized and avoid clutter. Group Like with like.

5. Stay on top of maintenance. Regularly clean and maintain your space to keep it organized. This might involve setting aside time each week to tidy up or doing a deep clean once a month.

6. Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're feeling overwhelmed, don't be afraid to ask for help from a friend or professional organizer. They can provide valuable insights and support to help you get and stay organized.

Being organized takes some effort and discipline, but the benefits are worth it. By implementing regular upkeep strategies and finding a system that works for you, you can create a space that is efficient, productive, and stress-free.

Once you have a system in place take 5 minutes out of every day to ensure you maintain it. This way you keep on top of things and are not faced with another project. Remember 5 min each day is all it takes to Maintain the order once your system is set.
