Tips and Tricks to Make Life Easier

It's easier to stay cool 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


Do Label in a Snap
Label your cords with bread bag closures. Works whether they'r
e plugged in or stored. If it's labeled, you're less likely to unplug the wrong (possibly disastrous) thing, or forget what that dang charger is for. Tape labels require more steps and can un-stick over time. Genius designer Patti sent this one from Make -- thanks!
DON'T


Don't Sweat Some Clutter

Don't feel bad if you need to declutter occasionally. Even the most organized area has to be weeded now and then, like a garden; it's proof of life. It's easier and rarer when you're organized, but it still happens. Just get on with it at the end of the day or week, but don't waste energy feeling like you've failed.

GET

Get Green Printing
My husband (!), Carlos, found Twisted Limb Paperworks to make our wedding reception invitations and they couldn't have been better to work with. A small business in Bloomington, IN, everything they do is 100% recycled and handmade in a socially and environmentally sustainable studio. And they're really nice!
GIVE

Give Kids Health

Nearly 1 in 3 U.S. kids is obese or overweight. This has severe health, academic, and economic impacts for each of them and for the country. Chicago-based Action for Healthy Kids works before, during, and after school to get kids moving more and eating better. They've reached 4.5 million already; help them reach more!
