The New Year is off to a very rapid start already, and it's about that time of January when everything is just plain overwhelming. Especially for creative entrepreneurs, bloggers, self-employed, work-from-home friends. I've always promised that this blog is going to be real, and there's no faking it here, so let's just all agree: Sometimes, the perseverance drops drastically. If you're in the same boat as I often find myself in, don't worry! It's part of the flow. But three things that make it easier to stick to it are a plan, some organization, and a lot of encouragement. So here are my top 12 top picks for goal-getters out there who might need some direction and a little fun back in the routine!

Hello, friends! 

With the new year well on its way already, I've been thinking a lot about goals, plans, themes and more for the upcoming months. Being 2020, I feel like there's not only the pressure of a new year but also the new decade hanging over us. There are so many expectations (whether set by ourselves or by others/society) that it can overshadow the everyday. 

Because let's talk about that. We can look at things in view of the whole year (and that can be helpful at times), but sometimes, we lose focus. Every year is made up of months, which are made up of weeks, which are made up of... that's right, days. Every little insignificant day turns into 30 and then turns into  365, and then you've got a whole year right there. Little moments matter, and too often, we forget the smaller, important things because we're focusing too hard on the big picture.
