3… 2…1…Happy New Year! In 1, 2, 3!


Does the New Year bring you a feeling of pressure to make changes? To put all things in order? To be better? Well, before you go resolving to do everything monumentally, here are 3 simple and productive things you can do right now to get started. Each takes only 10 minutes!

These small, productive actions will build momentum in the right direction, leaving you feeling better, catapulting you forward. To accomplish anything and everything, bigger and bolder! Here we go:

1. Delete apps you don’t use. That’s right, you can delete the 2024 US Open Tennis app now! And any other outdated apps still left on your phone from 2024, or earlier. You can delete all the news apps you never looked at. Are they even news sources anymore? Delete all those “suggested” apps you downloaded and used only once, or never!

The point is, take 10 minutes to go through your apps on your phone and DELETE those you don’t use regularly. Get real and get them out of your way. They are visual noise, and are subliminally causing you unnecessary confusion. Doing this will create space on your phone and in your mind.

TIP: Not now, but on another day, take 10 minutes to organize what’s left, in a sensible way.

2. Delete unwanted photos from 2024. Start with ONLY 2024! I often hear people saying they need more space on their phone. This is a great thing to do for that, and to do in general. It’s a nice feeling when  you’re not haphazardly saving a lot of crap!

There are so many ways to organize pics, and that’s for another day. Stay focused on getting rid of the useless nonsense. You will feel good knowing what’s left is the more important stuff. Don’t worry if you think you made a mistake-everything deleted will still be there for 30 days.

3. Identify your monthly subscriptions. This will SAVE YOU MONEY in the end! And who doesn’t want that? What subscriptions do you have? Do you know? Where are they paid from?

Compile an ongoing list of identified subscriptions. As you go, you can decide which ones you don’t need, taking the extra time to downgrade or cancel them. This is important and timely because it’s money going out EVERY MONTH. At least start to look at it!


You will be amazed how accomplished and organized you’ll feel after taking 10 minutes with each of these fixes. That’s 30 minutes well spent! You’ll be on a roll! Keep that momentum building. Before you know it, you’ll be tackling bigger projects! Nothing will be off limits in 2025!  And isn’t that how you want to start this new year? I know I do!

Good luck with it! Tell me how it goes. If you need my help, I am here for you. Happy New Year! 2025 is going to be GREAT!
