My motto for 2012 is being On Top Of My Shit, and my word for 2012 is Accomplish. The two go hand in hand nicely, don’t you think? So far, I’m doing good. I use Gmail for both my personal email accounts as well as my work ones, and its awesome labeling, archiving, and filtering features are really helping me stay on top of my game in terms of email management.
On the home front, I’m using Neat Receipts to take care of the digital storage of receipts and such – it offers categories as well as comments (“tags”, I liken them too), so I can easily categorize things such as medical co-pay receipts under the “Medical” folder, in the “Co-pay” category, and with our names (whoever the medical co-pay was for) as the comments/tags. Pretty snazzy.
And on the work front, I am pushing myself to do work as I receive it, even if it means working longer than anticipated or working during hours I hadn’t originally planned on working during. The result? My plate is almost always empty, baby.
Of course, it’s only late-January, so there is plenty of time for these resolutions and mottos and words to live by to fall to the wayside. But I’m going to do my best to stay on top of my game, because it’s nice to be on top.
