Tip of the Month:

"In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed:  

 

They must be fit for it,

They must not do too much of it, and they must have a sense of success in it."

Kids:  Sticky Sand  
BeachLove the beach?  Hate getting sand off your kids? 

Here is a great tip, thanks to Francie Steiner:  

Use baby powder; pouring it on top of the skin when you leave the beach, makes it easy to wipe the sand off.

Be sure to keep a container of powder in your beach bag for those sticky sand situations.    

Time:  Arrive on Time
On time For those of you who are chronically late, here are some tips for arriving on time: 
1.  Sleep - Getting more sleep enables you to work more effectively and stay on track.

2.  Buffer - No matter the task, build in extra time.  Everything takes longer than we think.

3.  Just One More - When it's time to go, avoid the urge to do "just one more thing." 

Being late creates stress in your life.  Try one week of being on time (or even early) and see how it feels!
Home & Office:  The Container Store    
Container StoreThe Container Store is a wonderful place with loads of creative, beautiful items to get you organized.
 
However, it is important to make your list before you shop. Sort your things, decide what needs a container, and then go to the store.

It is difficult to control the impulse to buy - the store has beautiful displays and everything looks so useful!  Save yourself time and money by knowing what it is you are shopping for before you go.
