Is getting organized on your list of to-dos for the new year? Need a hand? Enjoy these free or nearly free tools for getting organized in the new year.
But…before you start going download crazy, heed this caution. Do not overwhelm yourself with the process of preparing to organize, such that you never actually do it. (Says experience.) Don’t overclutter your life with “helpful” tools. Keep it simple. Say it with me: simple.
Free or Nearly Free Tools for Getting Organized
Vista Print is offering six free products, including two types of calendars. The personalized post-it notes and note cards would be a hit in someone’s Easter basket. (I know, it’s barely past Christmas.) Plus Grandma (or The Simple Homemaker) would love a personalized calendar. Shipping fees apply. I have had good experiences with Vista Print.

What am I using to help me stay organized in the new year? A calendar, scrap paper and pencil (for my ultra-simple lists), my computer for my long-term lists, the 2012 Organize-in-Five Diary (which is something new I’m trying this year), and, of course, my subscription to The Simple Homemaker! (I must run. I’m late for my meeting of Self-Promoter’s Anonymous…although by definition none of us self-promoters are anonymous.)
