Tips and Tricks to Make Life Easier

It's easier to relax 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 Refill
Toss a Ziploc labeled "Refill" into your travel toiletry kit. During your trip or on its last day, toss in any containers that are empty or need to be replenished. When you return home, you'll know exactly what needs some love, instead of having to figure it out (or being caught short during your next vacation).
DON'T

Man carrying boxes



Don't Be Efficient
I'm often tempted to carry too much (make 1 trip instead of 2) or write an email while waiting for Word to open (why waste 3 seconds?). Then I drop the boxes or get distracted from the Word task; my "efficiency" is proven to be classic "false efficiency." Let's all gauge our true capacity, & act within it for true efficiency.
GET

Bathtub storage
Get Bath Storage
Need more bathroom storage? Grab a spring-loaded shower curtain rod, a few shower curtain rings, & some baskets. Stick the rod low along the wall beside the tub, attach the baskets with the rings, & load up with bottles, sponges, toys, etc.! Thanks, frugal-freebies.com via goodlifeorganizing.net!
GIVE


House

Give a New Start
Imagine starting a household from scratch, under stress, & with no budget. Transitioning families who are in need can go to Ann Arbor's wonderful House by the Side of the Road - a large, neat, & organized shop - for free clothes & household items. Donate new or gently used supplies, your time, or funds.
ORGANIZE
