This Week…Getting Ready

Good morning Kathy,

It sounds like you have a project for 2025 to work on and maybe even finish up (it's an on-going process). I still like to keep my appointments in a my appointment calendar even though I have it on my phone and computer. I like to look at the week in my book (especially on Sunday night) to get a better handle on days that are fuller than the rest. It's just me..I like the visual of seeing the whole week and month at a glance!

Good morning Kathy. No formal organization for me being retired. That said I am working on tweaking many things so my time management is more effective. Whatever works for you. Enjoy your day.

I liked new calendars with blank pages also! Then I'd fill it all up with stuff. It is a lot easier now with online calendars!

Hello Kathy - although I am not an "appy" kind of person, I am reasonably happy with that decision.  Those Tom Stoppard words of wisdom have much meaning - beyond the inbox or the to do list.  

Good morning, Kathy... here is where we sisters from another mother, differ. I like my paper diary with one page per day. I do list my appointments also on my Outlook Calendar, but notes, to-do's, etc. I need to see in writing.

Kathy, My calendar is on my phone since it’s almost always close by, except when I forget where I left it!

Hi Kathy,
I like my digital calendar AND paper calendar.  I loved my Day Planner when I was working. As for photos, I have a bunch of them I need to get digitized, too. Thanks for that reminder.

I hope people will always use this time of year to fix whatever is not working!

Good Saturday morning, Kathy. Many of us need to make some changes this year.

Have an outstanding weekend.

Kathy, I love your approach to starting the New Year with fresh organization and a clear focus on your goals. Your reflections on making new beginnings are inspiring and perfectly timed for tackling big projects. Wishing you success as you dive into your 2025 plans!

Oh man I haven't thought of those BIG calendars that title companies used to give out to agents every year.  The first thing I'd do was fill in all the solid meetings, conferences etc so I could block out time for everything else a year in advance.  Whew!  Sure is a lot simpler now Kathy!!   And what a great goal on your photos.  I should do that too! 

Hello Kathy, I am funny but I still have a day timer that I work off every day.  See I am older then you

Thank you, Kathy Streib, for sharing your inspiring thoughts on embracing new beginnings in 2025. Your reflections on organization and motivation not only resonate deeply but also encourage us all to take meaningful action as we move forward!

Kathy whether we like it or not, planning is a necessity.  We can't get to where we want to go, without planning how to get there.

Am revamping my office this year, Kathy. It's in dire need of simplifying and like you, I will digitize most of my paperwork as well! Happy scanning!

Funny you should say about digitizing your photos, I have so many from my parents and grandparents, but more excuses why I have not done it.... for starters having 18 listings and three pets not counting Diane:)Endre

Putting up new calendars throughout the house is one of the things I do on the first of every year, haha.

I've been printing a 12 page yearly calendar every year for as long as I've had a computer. I don't really do well using the calendar on my phone. I am very old school.

I LOVE the clean slate feeling of a new calendar!
