Keep up to date on
addresses, papers
& photos
Addresses: This is an easy win: You just
received a batch of holiday cards with
everyone's updated information on them.
Take a few minutes to update these
addresses in your records.
Warranties and
important papers: Take
a week to locate all
important papers such
as warranties, birth
certificates, passports,
medical records, pet records, etc. and scan
those that are able file the originals in
a safe well documented location. This is
one of the easiest ways to get (and feel)
organized.
Less Mess & Stress: Getting Your
Paperwork & Files Organized
Photos: You know what happens in the
digital age - we post so many images on
line to various social media sites that
actual photos never see the light of day.
Precious scattered images all over your
computer makes it very difficult to pull up
the exact one you are looking for. Taking
the time at the beginning of the year to
organize these will pay off in spades later
on—it will also help you put together
that yearly photo calendar that the
grandparents love to get at Christmas time.
How To Organize Digital Photos
Purge garage
gluttony
The garage is often
delegated as a
dumping ground for
misplaced objects and
miscellaneous tools. But it is also one of
the easiest places to see a big difference
fast. Start by reclaiming your parking
space. The trick - utilize the walls by using
a securely mounted pegboard system to
store yard and garden to get your tools—
rakes, hoses even wheelbarrows —off the
floor and out of the way, plus you'll always
be able to see what you have. After this
initial step consider shelving and overhead
storage. Your car will thank you.
With a bit of
forethought
and planning
you too can
start the
new year
off organized and ready to take on new
challenges. Remember even small changes
can make a big difference.
