With the new year just around the corner, it's time to start working on the mess you call your finances.

Stick with Sapling as we present a quick, actionable task for each weekday in January. We'll help you get your money right, quickly.

By breaking everything down into smaller little bits, you'll be able to do next to nothing -- all while achieving great things. But first! You need to get your head in the right place.

What are your goals for this year? Would you like to save up a down payment for a house? Pay off a credit card bill that's been nagging at you? Buy a new car? Figure out what you're working towards and you've already begun the first step. If you have a partner, check in with them to make sure you're on the same page.

With your mind right, you'll be able to get your pockets right.
