Make This Your Best Year: 5 Things to Start 2005 Right
The holidays are over, and we've entered the season of well-intentioned promises to do more, eat less, save more, give in to bad habits less and help others more.

As always, we've been on the lookout for ways we can help you save time while also getting more done. So this month, we examine what you can do to make your promises stick. (Be sure to download our free resolution form!) Plus we list out 16 important goals for small businesses.

One goal we should all aspire to is to develop a comprehensive record system for our personal lives and businesses; we've got the know-how you need to do just that. And for all of you who have decided 2005 will be the year you become a better manager, we share efficient methods for conducting annual reviews that will help both you and your employees become better at your jobs.

Here at Socrates.com, one of our resolutions is to make our site easier for you to use. Our first step toward that is to launch a new homepage later this month. But today, we offer you a sneak preview.

5 Things We Can All Do to Get 2005 Off to the Right Start:

#1. Make resolutions we can keep

How many years have you tossed out some basic New Year's resolutions (lose weight, learn a new hobby, spend more time with your family) and then never really achieved them? For many of us, the answer is probably every year. But it doesn't have to be that way. By putting some thought and effort into a New Year's resolution, you can achieve your goal and feel good about it. Here are some ways to do that.

Resolutions You Can Keep Year-Round
#2. Download the free Socrates New Year's Resolution form
To help you achieve your New Year's resolutions this year, we created a Microsoft Word document that you can download and use to create your plan of action and then record your progress.

#3. Set goals for our businesses and our business lives
Even though most people are hooked on top 10 lists, there are just too many good New Year's resolutions for your home office or small business to limit them to just how many can be counted on two hands. Consider these 16 resolutions, several of which are good advice for even those of us who work for other people's businesses.

#4. Develop a comprehensive record system for home and work
Start the year off right by getting your record-keeping act together for the coming year. We have just the guidance you need to get organized so when you need important documents--for taxes, insurance claims, financial planning--you know just where to find them.

Developing a Comprehensive Record System
#5. Become a better manager or employee
Whether you're on the giving or receiving end, employee reviews don't have to be painful. They can even be productive. Try one of these efficient methods to review your staff--or take control of your own review--while also promoting healthy two-way communication and developing career plans.
