Maybe forgetting about resolutions this year (or last year?) is simply a sad sign that I'm not as eager to improve as I used to be, but oddly enough I thought of a habit a few days after the roll over that I just so happened to have started on the 1st. I made myself a Tickler filing system in one of my much-more-frequent-than-annual attempts to get the paper piles organized. I had never heard of the Tickler system before, but I decided to make one with a folder for each day and one for each month (43 folders). I'm still skeptical, but currently I am enjoying the experience of papers magically disappearing into folders and only popping out when they need to be dealt with. Even a photo you're not sure what to do with can be put into a folder of a later date so you can be pleasantly reminded of happy things when you pull up the folder of all you need to do that day. I've checked it for nine days now . . .</p>
