I’m sure I’m not the only one who has grand plans of organization and productivity at the start of a new year…right?! I’m a pretty organized person, by nature, but I’ve definitely learned what things I’ve added to my workspace that actually keep all my things together and help. 
I seem to have an exorbitant amount of papers, receipts, and bills that pile up in a week. Instead of taking up desktop space, I like to have some type of letter organizer nearby to file all my necessary papers and keep everything together. Notepads are in abundance in my office, mostly because I can’t resist them when I see a cute one, but also because I actually use them! I like to think that I have a good memory, but I’ve learned that if I don’t write it down, I probably won’t remember it until sometime next week. 
I’m also a serial calendar/planner wanter. In my office, at this moment, I have a large paper calendar on my wall, a Weekly Planner notepad, and a 2017 planner. Excessive, I know, but they all serve slightly different purposes. I like to have a month-view of what’s going on – important things like travel, social things, or deadlines. I like a Weekly Planner to write important to-do’s for that week and set goals. The 2017 planner is to plan not just weekly, but also the entire year! You better believe I already have, “Wedding Day” scheduled in my planner. You know, important things like that. I like to have different colored pens, too, to differentiate between appointments/to-do’s/deadlines – social, work, personal, etc. 
While I haven’t been as productive as I wanted to be in 2017 thus far, I’ve certainly kept everything organized and have set myself up for success. So, here’s to that!

    WOW!!!
    This is the most wonderful thing i have ever experience and i need to share this great testimony.
    About how i get my ex back after a breakup.
    I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about it before.
    My name is Minerva D. Taylor from UK
    My boyfriend of a 2year just broke up with me and am 28 weeks pregnant. I have cried my self to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot. After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me once and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy. i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Adams can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my boyfriend came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Adams. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: Adamsusmanultimate@gmail.com or call/Whats-app: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home and change of grades its 100% safe.
