Can you believe how fast 2016 is going by?!  This is about the time of year that a lot of people end up bailing on their resolutions... but I say let's get motivated instead!  Today, I put together a set of three printables plus phone wallpapers for you, which help keep me on track with my goals.

These are positive messages that work for just about anyone, but personally I am working on choosing healthier options and taking care of myself.  Before I get to the fun freebies, I have a few tips that are helping me to set my sights on my goals and achieve them ASAP!

At first, I wanted to just make some free printables that you could hang on your wall for inspiration, as you can see below.  They are pretty cute, but not too cute for the man in your life.  :)

Then, I had a lightbulb moment to turn my images into phone wallpapers as you can see above!

I use my phone wallpaper as a reminder to choose those healthy options.  The best part is that I get the motivational messages on the go, especially when I am faced with food decisions.  In fact, when I was at Walmart the other day, shopping for some road trip snacks, I pulled out my phone to make sure that I skipped the bad stuff and instead bought my favorite healthy items!  V8 V-Fusion®, I'm looking at you!

2014 Planner & Free Blog Calendar Printable!

Just after the new year (and this blog) started, I shared with you my plans to make an organized planner.  Maybe not so exciting for some, but I love being organized.  :)  I put all of my ideas into action, and then I shared with you the finished product.  Yay!  It was my first attempt, so after 6 months passed, I decided that I my plan was in for a makeover and I shared a blog calendar as well.

So that was last year, and now I am on to this year.  First off, I am getting started early!  Yes, we have nearly 3 weeks left in 2013, but those plans in January and beyond have been piling up already!  :)  I made a few changes to my weekly checklist, which I did not share before, but for the most part everything has been working well for the rest of 2013!

Also, if you are interested, I am sharing both my regular monthly calendar AND my blog calendar as free printables.  Stay tuned for that at the end of the post!

What worked in 2013:

• The pretty vinyl design on the cover!  I still love it and it stayed pretty much intact, minus a couple of tiny dots on the damask pattern.  I just switched out the 3 for a 4 using my Silhouette, and I am ready to go!
• After revamping, the divided sections have worked out just right.
• My customized Monthly Calendar was perfect!  I did not like the included calendar, so this was a great addition.  My 2014 version is below for you to download.
• The quick Blog Calendar is exactly what I needed for jotting down scheduled posts in advance.  The download is below!

What did not work:

• My pre-printed Weekly To Do Checklist half-sheet was much too tiny and hard to read.
• My Monthly Calendar and Weekly To Do Checklists were formatted Monday to Sunday, although I prefer the Sunday to Saturday format.
• My quick Blog Calendar is good for keeping track of scheduled posts, but not good for the daily tasks that need to be done.

Basically, I did not have to edit very much, because my revamped 2013 calendar streamlined everything so well!


Here are the major items that I did for this year's calendar:
