Filing system – use different colored folders for different areas (green for financial, brown for home, blue for business, red for medical, etc.).
Carry a small notepad in your car for those ‘must dos’ that pop into your head while you are driving.
Utilize the space under your bed…there are many sizes of under-the-bed containers which can store anything from linens to off-season clothes and shoes. This is also a great place for infrequently used items like travel bags, shoe care kits, and gift wrapping. You can also purchase risers for your bed frame, giving you more room under your bed for storage.
Organize earrings and store in ice cube trays.
Incoming mail – process everything ASAP. Have a designated, easy to reach place for mail to be recycled, shredded, action items, and possibly a place for items that other family members need to see.
Organize your kitchen by activity. All baking items should be stored together, all stove-top cooking items together, etc.
