| 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 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 & then file or delete it. How ironic if it were to become e-clutter! |

DO |

Do Save & Save
Save your future self time, money, & stress (in case your wallet is lost or stolen) while saving your current self some gift-giving cash. 1: Empty your wallet. 2: Take an image of all cards -- front & back -- using your printer or camera; keep it in a safe place. 3: Use the gift cards you find to do your holiday shopping. Ta da! |

DON'T

Don't Do It Yourself
The lovely people who share your home can put their own stuff away, thank you very much. But that doesn't mean endless clutter. Designate a bin as the Home for Wayward Stuff, & let it be known that all unclaimed items will be donated after a decent interval. And do it! They'll catch on, & everyone will be happier. |

GET

Get Wrapped
For pretty presents without dedicating a whole room to giftwrap, this idea is brilliant (scroll down for the finished project). Remember to recycle anything that doesn't fit, & consider stashing kids' artwork here to "upcycle" as wrapping paper or gift tags. FYI: elfa has free shipping this week & goes on sale after Christmas. |

Organize Now for a Fun & Easy 2013
Give yourself the tools you need to really keep that "get organized" resolution. Better yet: ask for a gift certificate! We'll identify your trouble spots, break your project down into manageable steps, & keep in touch to make sure you can maintain the great progress you make. I'm scheduling organizing sessions in both the Detroit & Chicago areas for Dec and Jan. Call or email to find your best time. |
