A Gratitude Jar is a positive way to shift a negative mood and focus on all the things in our lives we should be grateful for. Simply jot down truly great, feel-good experiences - help from a stranger, a stunning sunset, writing a letter to a loved one - andpop in your jar. Open the jar if a gloomy mood hits and remind yourself of all the bright and beautiful things that have happened so far this year.

I was always making notes on scraps of paper about tips and facts I'd read in books and magazines, seen on the Internet or on TV. So this is my paperless filing system for all those bits of information I want to access easily. (Please note: I live in the UK, so any financial or legal information relates only to the UK.)
