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 Stand Wraps
We are not all blessed with endless drawer space in our kitchens, so go vertical where you can -- including with boxes of foil, plastic wrap, sandwich bags. By some cosmic miracle, 6-pack holders (see left) & magazine holders fit the bill perfectly. Store in a cabinet & they'll stand ready & tidy for their next mission.

DON'T
|
|
|
Don't Fix Things
It's close to sacrilege in my green & thrifty world, but yesterday I recycled a spray bottle instead of figuring out how to reassemble its spray mechanism. Repairs aren't always worth your valuable time (& counter-space, & mental energy/guilt). It's ok -- & a relief -- to say adios to some unfinished projects.

GET

|

Get Expanding Storage
A clever client found this hard-working desk/credenza for her daughter's craft supplies. It swings open to add an extra 2' of surface space & reveal lots of handy storage. It's called the Sauder Sewing & Craft Table, but could also be great for homework, projects, games, & as a home office.

GIVE |
| |
Give Housewares & Building Supplies
Recycle Ann Arbor's non-profit ReUse Center store has been a resource-sharing hub for 18 years. De-clutter your home & garage by donating furniture, kitchen & home items, yard & building supplies, & more. Stay to see what handy treasures your neighbors no longer needed. (Just make sure you have a good storage space in mind for them! No more clutter!)

 | ORGANIZE

Get Organized Oct through Dec
I'm currently scheduling on-site organizing sessions in the Detroit & Chicagoland areas as well as phone/Skype sessions for October, November, & December. Call or email to find your best time. (My Michigan & virtual schedules are the most flexible. For on-site sessions in Chicago, you can check this link for availability.)
We'll identify your trouble spots, break them down into manageable steps, work through them, & keep in touch to help you maintain your progress.
