The first month of the New Year is a great time to re-focus on your goals and start taking the steps to reach them. I’m feeling energized and ready to take on new projects, looking forward to upcoming events and speaking engagements for learning and networking.

But fulfilling those New Year’s resolutions and achieving their goals requires more than just good thoughts; in some cases, we may need to change our old behaviors that stopped us from getting what we wanted in the previous year.

The theory behind the GO System for organizing is that we have to rewire our brains by following better habits. It takes time, but the idea is to consciously use “good habits” until they take root. That way, even when you are stressed or tired, your new good habits will kick in automatically.

This applies whether you’re dealing with improving the energy in your residence, keeping your surroundings in order or organizing your workplace. Good habits could mean always putting new contacts in your address book immediately, making and using a new regular schedule for organizing and clearing your office files, or just taking 10 minutes a day when you get home to put things in order.
