Tips and Tricks to Make Life Easier

It's easier to get moving 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 Meet

Brand strategy wiz & generally fun & smart lady Nancy Goldstein introduced me to this smart way to organize fun (or other) meetings. MeetingWizard is super-easy to use without any prior knowledge, & so much faster than the endless game of tag that planning a get-together of multiple people so often involves.

DON'T

Don't Entertain Yourself
Decide not to distract yourself from the next lull in modern life's stream of data. As I reach for the car radio, I try to ask myself: is it a good time for some old-fashioned silence? Writer Kimberley Smith is "much more positive, energetic and productive when I stop devouring text, information and constant noise!"
GET

Get Arty
Turn old photos, a kid's masterpiece, or a family document into custom wall art (on a budget) & even into useful tools like thank-you cards. So much better than leaving them to sit around in a dusty box -- or leaving them to float around the house. Check out Reative Marmalade's one-of-a-kind services. Great for gifts!
GIVE

Give Books New Life
Got books or dvds you don't need to read or watch again? A soldier would be thrilled to get them. Just find a request posted on Booksforsoldiers.com; many simply ask for "anything to get our minds off the chaos" rather than specific titles. Create a short online profile to view requests & shipping info.
BIG NEWS

Simpliity Works ... in Michigan

 

Next month we're opening the "Michigan office" of Simplicity Works! My husband & I are thrilled to have bought a house in the wonderful city of Ann Arbor.

 

I'll continue to work in Chicago several days a month starting in May (see my calendar here) and have fabulous colleagues based in Chicago, too. 

 

And of course, I'll work with clients in southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio as well. Please pass the word along to anyone you know in those areas who's been itching to reclaim their space and peace of mind.
