Five things you can do this week to make your whole year easier.
We are a couple of weeks into the new year, and we love to start the year off fresh and focus on a few "housekeeping" tasks that will keep us organized and protected moving forward. Here are five tasks you can do this week to make your whole year better:
1. Update your passwords: It's a good practice to update your passwords from time to time. We know, we know....they are hard to remember, but try using a password protector / rememberer (we like Last Pass) to keep them all organized. Use combinations of upper and lower case letters, special characters and numbers, even when it's not required. As difficult as it is, try not to use the same one over and over.
2. Cancel unused subscriptions: streaming services, apps, or other paid subscriptions can be a real drain on your bank account. Take a good look at what really adds value to your life and cancel the rest.
3. Increase your monthly savings by 1%: Chances are, you will barely notice the difference now, and you will be amazed at how much you have stashed away for emergencies or *gasp* something fun. There are apps out there that will automate the process for you! I use Tracker, which makes a small transfer into my savings on a schedule I set. It's little amounts, but holy crap does it add up!
4. Unsubscribe to emails: You know how you bought your grandma a birthday gift in 2017 and you're still getting the emails from The Mumu Barn? If you're like me, you just keep deleting over and over, but it's time to take that extra click and unsubscribe my friends. Your future self will thank you.
5. Clean off your desk: You know that stack of papers on your desk? Sure you do--it's probably 8 inches from you right now. Find a home for those papers. Trash, file, and otherwise deal with that pile before it takes over your whole workspace
Don't you feel so much better? If you completed even ONE of these tasks, drop a 👍 below. Remember--progress, not perfection!We are proud of you!
