Kids:  Gear in the Garage 
GarageHave you stored your outdoor equipment in the garage waiting for good weather?

Now is the time!  Having an organized garage means your kids can find lots to play with and they can stay busy outside.
 

3 Easy Steps:

1.   Sort - Go through all items.  Donate or throw out any items that are no longer used or wanted.

2.   Group - Put like items together (balls, bikes, gardening, etc.)

3.   Store - If you have a garage system like the one pictured, great!  If not, based on your groupings, find appropriate storage containers.  You want the items easy to see, easy to reach, and easy to put away.

Have your kids help.  Making them a part of the process will keep them invested in keeping the garage organized.

Home & Office:  Cyber Clutter 
Cyber ClutterMost people think of clutter as physical items but Cyber Clutter can be just as damaging.

Cyber Clutter is:
  • too many items on your computer's desktop  
  • loads of emails in your in-box  
  • disorganized documents on your computer
  • unsorted digital photos
Take the time to organize your computer.  As with physical space, tackling one small area at a time makes the task easier.
