It’s January, and we all know what that means! Even those of us who use digital calendars tend to view the start of a new year as the ideal time to improve our lives, so I asked my readers to contribute their blog posts about Fresh Starts and Clean Slates. If you’re helping clients make positive changes or struggling with your own goals for 2026, you won’t want to miss this month’s Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival!

Please show the contributors your appreciation by leaving comments and sharing their posts (or this one) with your network.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this Blog Carnival!

Interested in reaching even more readers?

If your product or service would interest professional organizers, productivity consultants, or their clients, consider sponsoring an upcoming edition of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival! It’s an excellent way to maximize your exposure and support this growing community.

For the next edition of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival, I’d like you to contribute your blog posts about Systems that Stick. You may make your submission any time from now until Wednesday, February 19 at 11:59 PM EST.

    I’m excited to read these. The titles are brimming with inspiration. And what great timing as we slide into the end of the first month of the year. While there’s something extra special about the fresh start the New Year brings, we can always embrace the concept of a fresh start for a new day, moment, week, month, or season.
