As an avid planner and organiser I love nothing more than sitting down at the beginning of each new month and setting myself some goals. January is a great month to look at the whole year ahead and think about and plan what you want to achieve over the next twelve months. I always have a yearly plan but I also like to break my goals down into manageable monthly chunks too, I find I get less overwhelmed that way.

The first month of the year tends to be quiet which makes it the perfect time to set your goals for January as well as get all your ducks in a row, have a thorough declutter and generally get organised for a successful year ahead.
