8 Lists You Need To Write To Jumpstart the New Year

8 Lists You Need To Write To Jumpstart the New Year

It is the first of the month in January and you know what that means!!!!

It is the New Year!!! I am assuming people will jumpstart the New Year by:

  • Kissing at midnight
  • Someone proposing and someone saying yes
  • Preparing black-eyed peas
  • Writing your New Year’s Resolutions
  • Hungover
  • Or just chilling

Well whatever you are doing…Happy New Year Beautiful People!

Happy-New-Year-2016-Faceboo-Cover-7

I am so thrilled to start the New Year for many reasons, one being that I just relocated to Dallas, TX and that means new job, new places, new food and new people to to meet! My past couple of New Years have been monumental in ways that changed my life drastically and I am so glad I have reached this milestone in a #BlackGirlMagic kind of way.

Most people around this time are thinking of New Years Resolutions that they want to successfully complete this year and they do so well for the first 30 days. More power to you! One thing that I learned has been quite effective in my life is a concept called, Write It Down Make It Happen, which I did last year and here was an update that I wrote. What I learned in the process is that when you write things that you want to accomplish down and you look at it daily in task form, it is more likely to happen.

Most people are visual learners and when they see things it gets embedded in their mind. SO think if you looked at it often, it becomes a part of your mind, which then results into words and then behavior. That is why many people love creating vision boards and they LOVE Pinterest.

Another step in the process is to cross off what you have completed. One thing that I want to start doing in the New Year to help with my organization is called Bullet Journaling and I first heard about it from this amazing blogger over at The Brunette with a Blog, read about her Bullet Journal. Her post made so much sense for me and because I am getting super busy and active I need to remember everything.

So my beautiful friends, what are some of the things you want to accomplish and how will you go about doing it? Do you have a process?

Well here are some lists that you can start creating to jumpstart the New Year.
