Tip: When doing back to school shopping, always shop with a list. Go to the store with a clear idea of what you need and work from the supply list provided by the school. Stay focused, limit your time browsing and stick to your list. This will prevent over buying and impulse buying. It’s also helpful to take inventory of the school/office supplies you already have at home before heading to the store. You may already have some of the supplies that you thought you needed to purchase.

Tip:   Schedule project power hours and declutter dates to tackle disorganization.  Pick a specific date and time and don’t allow yourself to reschedule.  Designate one hour to focus on a single organizing project and you will make progress.  A good starting point is sorting into categories, by putting like items together.  If you’d like more ideas on how to get started and how to make progress, please contact me.
