Forming New Habits - Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival

Earlier this month, millions of people made New Year’s resolutions, a practice that’s been around for 4000 years or so, according to History.com. Not everyone agrees with this practice, but I think most of us consider the start of a new year as a great opportunity to make positive changes. To help us achieve our goals for 2024, I invited my readers to share their experience and insight about Forming New Habits in this month’s Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival.

The sponsor for this month is Geralin Thomas. The owner of Metropolitan Organizing© since 2002, Geralin offers one-on-one coaching for organizers at all experience levels, as well as a collection of professionally designed, editable, essential business kits.

Whether you need support working on your own habits or help others in this area, you’re sure to find some great advice here. As you read the posts listed below, please connect with the bloggers on social media, leave comments, and share your favorite posts with your own network.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your wisdom, and special thanks to Geralin Thomas for sponsoring.

The topic for the next Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival will be Creative Storage Solutions. There’s no sponsor yet for this edition, so if this is a good fit for you, send me a message! You’re welcome to submit your post any time before 11:59 PM on February 14, 2024.

    Wow! What a wealth of rich information about forming new habits! I guess many people are believers in habits, myself included! Thanks for assembling this terrific collection. Lots to take advantage of at the beginning of this new year.

      I’m amazed at the response to this topic! I thought it would be popular, but I’ve been wrong before. 😉
