Organizing Tips!!
Get a desktop shredder or standard shredder. Reduce the risk of identity theft and shred anything with an account number. Shred as you go so you don’t get buried in “shredding to do’s”

Organizing Tips!!
Procrastinating on a task? Use a timer, give yourself 15 minutes to do it and see how it goes. The momentum almost inevitably sets in. Just gotta get over the hump.

Organizing Tips!!
On birthdays and Christmas store away a few gifts for a rainy day. What a great surprise to get a new toy a month or two after the birthday or holiday. Kids get inundated with gifts…they won’t miss one or two plus they’ll be so excited to get them AGAIN!

Cost of Getting Organized - Priceless
Cost of Getting Organized -- Priceless
Five bottles of Windex, expired food and over $50,000 in expired checks. These are the real life things that get uncovered through the organizing process. This is neither minimizing nor exaggerating. Just as “organized” is a relative term so is the value of the results. Every client engagement is a new opportunity to change someone’s life for the better.
A bottle of Windex costs about four dollars. No big deal right? Wrong. Think about that as one of the dozens of product that a disorganized home has in duplicate, if not multiples. This adds up. In today’s economy some families do not have the luxury of continually replacing what’s misplaced; a family should however invest to create efficiencies that last a lifetime.
The average cost of a meal out for a family of four is between $30 and $100. The cost to prepare the same meal at home is a fraction of the price. Getting organized in the home and kitchen with simple menu planning and organizing basics can bring back family dinner at home and save hundreds, even thousands of dollars each year. Poor meal planning is not only costly due to last minute eating out but also with food that doesn’t get used and goes bad.
Life happens, sometimes life happens all at once and brings with it a mound of paperwork, a truck load of stress and some overwhelm just for good measure. When family members get sick, pass away or need help we deal with the emotion and grief while drowning in the details. Getting paperwork organized saves time and money, (over $50,000.00 for one client), and can alleviate the suffocating feeling.
Decide you’re worth it. Decide to invest in your emotional, physical and spiritual well being by creating, for yourself, a truly amazing and beautifully functional space.
Invest in getting organized.

Organizing Tips
Organize your kitchen from the back to the front. Use the way back, high shelves for the items that you pull out once a year, put the occasional items midway and the everyday items close to the front and down low.

Organizing Tips!!
Use a wire riser under the bathroom and kitchen sink to double up your space. Rolls of TP or other small items can fit underneath.
