Happy New Year to you and welcome to all our new
subscribers!
This year we have many new things planned to help all of

your life:
>>We will be combining the Balance and Computer
Corner issues of OverHall IT! into one issue, but you will
still receive two issues a month, and occasionally a
special email here and there (we promise to keep these
to a minimum).
>>We will be adding some new tips that will include
Space Clearing and Purification, and Feng Shui along
with our usual OverHaller Tips and Ask the OverHaller,
PLUS a section for Professional Organizers.
>>We are very excited about the development of our
NEW and unique in-house workshop for your corporation
or company that will enable you to see immediate results
at the end of the seminar.
>>We are developing new teleseminars to better serve
our client base throughout the world.
>>We are in the process of converting our audiotapes
into CD's and E-books to better serve you and your
needs.
>>We will be changing list management services so you
won’t have to deal with the mandatory ads at the
beginning of each newsletter and to better service you.
Thanks for your support and for being a subscriber,
Janet L. Hall, The Organizing Wizard
P.S. Don't forget we want your Organizing, Space
Clearing, Feng Shui, and Computer tips, techniques, and

2. Goal-Resolve (revisited)
By: Janet L. Hall
===========================================
Many people make New Year's resolutions, only to break
them within a week or a month afterwards.
Many people either do or do not set goals for themselves.
Some people have no idea how to set goals.
So, let's look at the difference between resolutions and
goals.
"Webster's New World Compact School and
Office Dictionary" copyright 1994, offers these definitions:
~~ Resolution - 1) the act or result of resolving something
2) a thing determined upon; decision as to future action
3) a resolute quality of mind
4) a formal statement of opinion or determination by an
assembly, etc.
~~ Goal – 1) the place at which a race, trip, etc. is ended
2) an end that one strives to attain
3) in some games, a) the line or net over or into which
the ball or puck must go to score b) the score made.
Notice # 2 in each definition and let's use 'losing weight'
as our example. (I use this as an example because it is
the number one New Years resolution).
The statement "I'm going to lose weight this year" doesn't
really have any meaning, focus, or structure.
The statement "I have determined that I need to lose
weight and will walk one mile three times a week so that I
can wear the new dress/suit that is too tight."
See the difference? See how the second statement has
more clarity and structure?
We have determined the problem, decided on the action
we want or need to take, and what end we are striving to
attain.
This is the way to focus on a problem, make a resolution,
and set a goal. This is what I have coined a "Goal –
Resolve.
"Goal - Resolve! What is this woman talking about?"
Goal - Resolve: a statement that determines a problem,
what action you need to take, and to what end you want
to attain.
Since this is a newsletter about organizing, let’s make a
Goal – Resolve for organizing an area of your life that is
driving you crazy (you fill in the blanks):
I, _________________, have determined that I need to
organize my _____________, and will sort through, toss,
recycle, or donate anything that is no longer of use or of
value to me. I will do this for _______ minutes or hours a
day until the area is organized and everything I keep has
a "home" and can be easily located when needed."

Day? *****

families and successful people use on a daily basis.
