Hello

 

Opps.  It appears I missed an issue.  September and October were extremely busy here.  Can't believe it's the end of Ocober already.  Watching hubby get stronger after bone marrow transplant and planning a family wedding for our daughter Heather in October.  Life's a challenge.  Hope everyone stayed better organized than I did!

GETTING ORGANIZED in 2010

Where is it?

How do you keep track of your family's stuff?  Whether you are a family of one, two, four or more, having ONE place in your home where stuff collects is the key.
  1. Keep one calendar where all major family appointments and activities are noted
  2. Use a magnetic clip, clothespin, or thumbtack to post important reminders
  3. Establish a container for each person where papers and things can collect

At the very least, establish a place where you can put the mail and "stuff" until you have time to go through it.  Define this area as a "landing pad" for your things.

Staying organized is all about containing. When you set boundaries with containers, you gain control of the clutter.

HOLIDAY TIME PREPARATIONS

November is a good time to start thinking about NEXT holiday season.  As you bring out decorations and entertaining supplies, while you put away the seasonal toys and tools, take time to do a little purging.  Label boxes, clean supplies, toss broken items.  You will be glad you spent time in 2010 when November 2011 rolls around.
