Start 2018 Off Right!

We still can’t believe that the new year is officially up and running! At Betsy Meade Orthodontics, we’re all about getting (and staying) organized in the new year. We love making lists and checking things off as we go.

If you’re looking for a new way to keep track of your goals and to-dos, we recommend starting a calendar or trying a bullet journal. Don’t procrastinate and keep yourself accountable by checking it daily.

If you do go the bullet journal route, consider keeping a habit tracker. A habit tracker is a list you create each month with daily tasks that you wish you to accomplish. You can color code it and make it as visually pleasing as you want. It’s a great way to stay on track and see what you’ve accomplished each month as a whole!

We all know how busy the work week can get and how that can affect cooking at home. It can be hard to come home after a long day and have to get straight to an hour or two of cooking. Well, we’re happy to share two of our favorite fuss-free recipes with you: tacos and fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken. They’re great for leftovers as well which is a plus.

We believe that staying organized is just one part of the productivity equation. The other equally important part is taking care of your physical health. When you feel good you are more likely to have more energy to accomplish everything on your to-do list. You can start doing this by making small adjustments like drinking water instead of pop. Your body will thank you and your teeth will , too!

In 2018 we’re making it a priority to spend more time with family and friends. We’d love to hear about what the goals you’re setting for yourself this year!

We hope you’ve had a great start to the year so far and can’t wait to see you in the office!
