What's Your Resolution for 2012? Create a Paperweight to Help You Stay Focused on Your Goals

Is this your year to travel abroad?

The new year has always been a time to look back on the past and resolve to make changes for the coming year.  For many of us, staying focused on these goals can be a challenge.

Whether you've resolved to get organized, drop a few extra pounds, or learn something new, you'll have fun creating a motivational paperweight that will help you stay on track.

You don't have to put an incredible amount of time into designing your paperweight.  Here are a few examples:

• Drop 25 pounds for an exotic trip abroad:
  Your paperweight design can be as simple as the number "25" in a stylish font, or a photo of your summer vacation destination.
  
  
• Change Careers:
  Would you like to make a career change 2012?  Have fun personalizing a paperweight with your name and dream job title.
  
  
• Learn to Speak French:
  Many things can encourage a person to learn a new language.  Perhaps your dream is to travel the French countryside or learn the art of French cooking.  Create a design that tells your story.

Having a motivational paperweight on your desk will act as a reminder of things you've set out to accomplish this year so you can stay focused on your goals.  Afterall, isn't this half the battle?
