Our second new year's goal is to finish a task. We all have them — things we know we need to get done that just linger on the to-do list, never getting finished. This year, make it a point to move something off. Here are some ideas:

• Get those files organized and shred everything you don't need.
• Finish the half-done craft project.
• Clean the closet or the attic or the basement or the garage.
• Scan and label the stack of family photos.
• Schedule the health screening test you've been avoiding.
• Start the blog.
• Write the will.
• Attack the mending pile.
• Set up the retirement account.
• Paint the kitchen.

Whatever your task is, this year, get it done. And who knows? Maybe getting one thing off your list will create momentum!
