We hope you’ve had a safe and happy Christmas, and have kicked off 2012 in a positive way. What are your resolutions for the year ahead? I’m experimenting with Simpleology and Wunderlist at the moment to help keep me focused on what I want to achieve each day. Have any of these web-based task list style programs worked for you? We’d love to hear if you’ve found a winning solution to staying productive. Make sure you let us know if there’s anything we can do to help you achieve your goals this year.

It’s almost time to don the thongs, hit the beach and celebrate being an Aussie. How are you going to celebrate Australia Day this year? According to an office survey at the Garden Shed, the Loves are heading to Caloundra, David is choosing to spend the day in the comfort of his own air-conditioning, Tony’s not sure yet and Sam is going 4WDing with his mates at Double Island Point. Wherever you are on 26 January this year, we hope you have a cracker day and don’t get too sunburnt!

Enjoy the tips and articles in our January, and have a great month ahead.
