January is "Get Organized" Month!  Last year I bet you said  'this is the year I am going to organize all my files and papers and all the other stuff cluttering my desk and my office.  I am going to organize all my income tax stuff so it isn't a last minute panic job'  and you may have said you were going to clean-up or organize anything else that is cluttering your life.  Now I also bet you didn't do any of that.  This year though, is going to be different - right? 

Right! You bet it is.  I have found a great organizer named Maria Gracia and she has written a series of organizing e-books.  Each e-book is for a different area of your home.  I love her stuff and highly recommend it.  Below are her e-books that pertain more to the home office environment.  They are worth checking out and are reasonably priced.

I have been loosing sleep because I did not have a proper backup of my pictures.  Really, I was quite worried.  I knew two people who had their hard drives crash, one was able to recover her stuff, the other, not so lucky.  Something had to be done. 

So for Christmas I bought myself an external hard drive.  A Western Digital "My Book" 750gb hard drive to be exact.  I got a great deal on it.  I was quickly able to copy all my picture files, music files, video files and all my other document files over in just minutes and barley made a dent in the hard drives capacity!  Finally I am able to sleep at night again!
