Tips and Tricks to Make Life Easier
It's easier to be lazy when you're organized. |
|
Here are 4 quick monthly tips provided by
Molly Boren of Simplicity Works Home + Office Organizing Services. I hope they make your life a little easier.
Remember: if it takes 1 minute or less, do it now.
That is, read this and then file or delete it. I wouldn't want
it to become e-clutter! | |
 |
DO |
|
|
Do Trash It
It's so simple: pop a wastebasket in each room, including the car. That way, you
-- and your guests -- don't need to go hunting (or dropping things any old place, yikes) each time a candy wrapper or Kleenex needs to be dealt with. Rather than buying new, reuse a flower pot or other container. |
|
DON'T
|
|
|
Don't Turn Left When driving, avoid turning left when you can. Making a few rights instead of waiting and waiting (and idling, and spewing fumes) for that left saves you time, frustration, gas, and ultimately money. It's a tried and true UPS trick: it saves them about 3 million gallons of gas and 31,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions. |
|
GET
|
|
|
Get Your Money Back What if you've purchased your tickets for that fabulous trip...and now the price has tumbled? Instead of sulking, try getting a refund if the price drops by $75 or more. You could get a voucher for the difference, minus the standard rebooking fee. Sites like Yapta guide you through the process. |
|
GIVE |
|
|
Give School Supplies Clearing out those supply cabinets and drawers in advance of another school year? (Do it! It feels great!) In Chicago, Christopher House, that fabulous organization supporting low-income kids and their families, is accepting donations of the good-quality extras you find. Drop off 7:30am-7pm at 2507 N. Greenview. | |
