Gift Giving & Santa
The gift giving season is upon us once again, and at this time of year I like to share my Organizer-friendly gift ideas. These options are alternatives to traditional gifts, because they focus on zero waste…
Stop spending to save
We’ve all done it. We fall prey to the notice that flashes on the screen telling us that if we spend just $16.00 more, (or some other amount) we’ll save 20%, or get free shipping, or a free promo gift. But do we only spend the required amount or do we spend more? We spend more than originally planned because the vendor encourages us to spend more to save money? Is it worth it?
Do you really want more at this time?
Are these extra items necessary?
Is this a want or a need?
Do you have room for more?
Remember, the more we have the more we have to organize and maintain.
Donating is easy
Donating is a simple and effective way to declutter. Select a worthy charity, non-profit or organization that motivates you to let go. Haul away your items and smile. You’ve reduced your belongings to a more manageable amount that’s easier to organize and maintain. You’ve also helped the environment.
You’re in control
One effective way to stay organized is to remove (or reduce) anything in our homes that we can’t keep under control. Items that fall into this category are usually things we have in large quantities or excess. Some examples are an excessive amount of clothes, books, toys, shoes, paperwork, or collections. Think of an amount that is manageable and work towards achieving that amount.
Staying organized when life is busy
Why does summer seem to fly by? School gets out in June. We celebrate July 4th, then bam! It’s time for a new school year to begin. The pace of life seems to go faster at the end of August into September. Does this happen to you? How can we stay organized when life seems to speed up? Here are 3 tips.
