Tips and Tricks to Make Life Easier
It's easier to be thankful when you're organized. |
| Here are 4 quick monthly tips from me, Molly Boren
of Simplicity Works Home + Office Organizing Services.
I hope they make your life a little easier.
Remember: if it takes 2 minutes or less, do it now.
That is, read this now and then file or delete it. How ironic if it were to become e-clutter! |

Do Make an Easy Plan
For those of you who, like me, don't have all of your holiday decorations up & gifts wrangled & wrapped yet, pull out your calendar & make some appointments with yourself to prepare for the joyous season. Setting aside real chunks of time to focus & act will feel luxurious, & will pay off miraculously in relaxed enjoyment. |

DON'T
|
| |
Don't Buy Gifts
I'm all for giving gifts, but if you're one of those people with a stack of gift cards & certificates hiding away in a drawer, use these to purchase gifts instead of shelling out actual money. Or swap your card for another vendor's at a site like Plasticjungle. Or, of course, there's always the gift of a home-made cookie kit! |
