It's that time of year, things are winding down and a new beginning is in our sights. It is a good time to reflect on everything you did, and did not, accomplish this year and start planning for the next. I find the best way to do that is by cleaning up. Clean your email, file folders, photos, videos, and organize your digital and physical life. You don't know what you have to work with next year until you take a look at it all in one sitting.
