Tips to Organize Your Home |

• Buy a
small hook today and screw it into the wall next to your entry door.
Hang two sets of house and car keys on it.
• Perform one small household chore each weekday to free up time on your weekend. You can dust, vacuum, clean the bath, or throw in a load of laundry. • Use small plastic cutlery trays (which come in various sizes) to put a little order to your junk drawer. • Avoid late fees by noting in your planner due dates for video rentals and library books. • Consider storing items in your basement or attic by PERSON, especially if you have teens who will leave home in the next five years. Make each person responsible for their stuff. • Declutter before you organize. Your home will not stay organized if there is clutter everywhere. Give yourself a goal of decluttering one area or even ten items daily. It will make a difference. • Weed through your bathroom drawers and dispose of products that aren't being used. Group like products. Provide each household member with a basket for their grooming supplies. • Categorize your video collection for easier retrieval. Separate into home movies, kids' videos, exercise, westerns, etc. Have one of the kids make a list of all the movies. Donate those you no longer watch. • Place an errand basket by the door. Fill it books to return, dry cleaning to drop off, etc.

• Go
through your medicine cabinet this week. Toss any expired meds.
move the others to the kitchen and they'll last longer. Separate
child and adult medications by placing them in different plastic
containers.
• Keep a donation box in your home. Every time you come across an item you don't use or need, add it to the collection. Schedule regular monthly or quarterly times to drop it off. • Organize everything, especially your stored items, by separating them into categories, outdoor items, toys, baby supplies, clothing, workshop supplies, etc. • Keep a small basket in your closet or laundry room for unmatched hose and socks. They usually reappear. •
Set up a specific place in your home for important, frequently-used
items such as tape, scissors and pens.
