When a new year begins, the only shift I make is getting out my January insert for my DayTimer. 

A new year has no more importance than a new day. 

Many people make the mistake of having a philosophical approach to a new year. 

Have you thought to yourself, "well, it's a new year, now is the time to focus on ..." and here is where you might insert losing weight, spending time with family, or finding a new job. 

If so, you are taking the wrong approach. 

The better approach is to think about it each day. How can you make today better?

Get out of the habit of setting resolutions or goals for a new year. Instead, make today better. Then make tomorrow better. 

Wake up 15 minutes earlier, sit down with the Morning Magic Planner and plan out your day. 

Every day is a good day to get better.
