Monthly To Do - January

Prepare for tax filing.  I know it seems early to do so but if you organize now you'll be thankful when it is time to take care of business.  Pull out all your receipts and mileage logs and whatever else you plan to use as tax deductibles.  Use a manila envelope to keep all your paperwork together as it comes in this month (w-2's, w-3's, 401K, interest accounts, etc.).  You can even write a little check list on the envelope of things you are expecting to come in and when you check that last box off make your appointment with your tax preparer.
