Worthy goals! Perhaps the most important ones are those that touch the lives of the ones you love.

Keeping in touch and spending more time with others are crucial to strong relationships. After all, when people look back on their lives, they rarely seem to say, "I sure wish I had put in more time at the office." The biggest regrets involve relationships that have fizzled out or even died!

With our organization tips for New Year communication, you can keep in touch and spend more time with others!

Organizing your Contacts

An important place to start your organization for New Year Communication is with your contact lists, address books, and business or calling cards.

One of the biggest obstacles to keeping in touch with others is losing important information. The best way to avoid this problem is to organize your contact information, keeping it in a convenient place.

We suggest only keeping the most important business or calling cards in your wallet. Consider categorizing the rest with a business card organizer. Suggested categories are

• Business contacts
• Friends
• Family
• Service contacts (i.e. restaurants, favorite stores, maintenance services, etc)
  

It may be wise to have one copy of an important card in your wallet, with another copy in your business card organizer.

Purchase a new alphabetized address book for contact information that is not included in your business or calling card collection. Be sure to record all contacts, including ones on printed out contact lists.

Organizing your Work Space

A messy desk is also an obstacle to keeping in touch. With inexpensive letter trays, folders, bins, drawer organizers, and other organization tools, you can have a dynamic work space that no longer hinders you!
