Here it is, that time of year when some people resolve to do better in the New Year. It always amazes me that "Getting Organized" is a fact of life come January 1st...every year!
I was at Office Depot today to get a new bigger, better hub for my computer. I love that store, spent an hour walking and looking around. I ended up not only buying the hub that I went in for, but spent another $179 on QuickBooks Pro. I thought about going to QuickBooks last year but never got around to it. Now, my Quicken Home and Business (from 2004) is outdated - so, I kind of told myself I really need to get new financial software. I installed it and successfully imported all my quicken financial files over to it... and it was so easy!
Just from what I've read about QuickBooks, this will be a MAJOR improvement in my business record keeping!
The next organizational effort will be to "get it all together" for tax filings. I know that QuickBooks will make it much easier for me to do that the end of 2008.
I also need to empty old files to make more room.
It's never ending... never ending... never ending...
Barbara, you're singing my song here - I LOVE to organize and Jan 1 is one of my favorite days of the year, because I get to start all those brand new files and wrap up the previous year's. I'd rather shop at Office Depot or Ikea for organization items than at Nordstrom's for shoes.
