What Houzz contributors are saying:
A seasoned work-from-homer, Becker knows how to create an inspiring and efficient workspace. She recommends having a separate or at least distinct space for work. Decorate Tip: "Make yourself at home by displaying photos, treasured objects, and reference materials" in your workspace.
1. Keep a resolutions chart. This method is old school, but since Gretchen Rubin swears by it in her popular book The Happiness Project, I am convinced it's worth a shot. The idea is to hold yourself accountable each day through the habit of checking boxes in a chart — low tech but effective.2. Use the 10-minute rule. Resolutions have this funny way of overwhelming us before we even begin. Instead of trying to find large chunks of time to devote to your goal, take a few moments now and list as many resolution-related tasks as you can think of that can be accomplished in 10 minutes or less. Making a phone call, checking a website, sending an email and doing a few sets of crunches all would fit in that time frame.

Does it give you creative ideas? Designers and artists often keep inspiration boards filled with anything and everything that inspires them at the moment. Even if you don't have an inspiration board, there may be things in your home you turn to for inspiration that may at first appear like clutter — huge backlogs of magazines, an extensive book collection, a cabinet of colorful pottery. Once you recognize that you use these things for inspiration, you can figure out a way to house them neatly, steering them away from the fate of being labeled "clutter."
