In The News...
Here are some great time saving tips from Lori's Dayton Daily News articles.
Back to Basics...
Keep your office clutter-free by installing an over-the-door hook on the back of your door. Keep your coat, office sweater, umbrella and purse out of sight when visitors (or your boss) stand at the doorway to your office.
Over-the-door hooks require no tools to install and can make your office look neater in minutes.
And The Winner Is...
You are once again organizing in your basement when you stumble upon that box of trophies. You have moved them from home to home and haven’t looked at them for years. You make the decision it’s time to get rid of them, but the thought of throwing them in the trash breaks your heart.
If you list your trophies on Freecycle.org, there are teachers who would love to have them to award to their students.
Freecycle.org is a nonprofit made up of people who are interested in keeping reusable items out of our landfills.
Remember to remove the nameplates that contain your identifying information from your trophies. If you are uncomfortable with people coming to your home, arrange the pick-up at a public place.
Everyone wins when we donate!

One Last Thing...
“When you’re clear about your purpose and your priorities, you can painlessly discard whatever does not support these.” ~Victoria Moran
Sometimes there is work to be done before you can begin to organize. What is your purpose and priorities?
