A Busy Mom's New Year's Resolutions

Mothering two happy and active preschoolers, running a business, playing in a part-time symphony orchestra, trying to keep a home from being over-run with precious preschool art work and junk mail, not to mention dirty dishes and laundry...  Well, it just doesn't leave much time for the "get my body back in shape" and "save the world" New Year's Resolutions.  So for the last two years, I've kept it simple.  ONE resolution per year. 

New Year's Resolution 2008:  Reduce library fines.

It went very well!  I just had to devote a little time to reading those auto-emails from the library, and either renew things online or put them in the library bag by the door to get returned.  Hooray!  Of course, I've always felt like the fines I paid to the library were a "willing contribution" to the civic welfare.  But a little civic responsibility for getting things back on time isn't a bad thing either. :-) 

New Year's Resolution 2009:  Put the Play-Doh away when we're done. 

Believe it or not, this one was harder.  When I remind the kids, they're usually pretty good at putting it away.  But sometimes they're in the playroom and I don't keep track of exactly which activity they're doing, so if it's time for lunch, or errands, or gymnastics, we move on and the play-doh gets left out.  We've done better toward the end of the year.  It could be because they're getting older, or because the playroom is less cluttered. 

Speaking of clutter, I did some good decluttering this year, based on tips from It's All Too Much by Peter Walsh.  We do ok at keeping toys, books, kitchen tools, and clothes under control.  But what gets out of control is...

New Year's Resolution 2010:  Conquer those little piles of paper. 

Yes, I know.  This one is a lot more ambitious than the last two years!!  But it has the potential to improve our health (dust), mental well-being, financial well-being, and capacity for family fun.  So it's going to be worth it.  Any tips?  What's your Busy Mom New Year's Resolution?
