In The News...
Even though the ghouls and goblins make this a frightful time of year, Lori teaches us how to get over our organizing fears in these throwback Dayton Daily News articles.
Boo-tiful Common Areas...
In the workplace, it is scary how the common areas can get out of control and disorganized. An easy way to remedy this is to assign a staff member to each area, whether it be the supply closet, storage room, break room or office refrigerator.
That person is then responsible for making sure the room stays organized. They remove all unnecessary clutter, which may include that half-filled coffee cup that has been sitting on the counter for a week or the takeout container of Chinese food abandoned in the back of the fridge.
Rotate the responsibility every quarter, so those in charge of the areas don't get burned out from their duties.
On The Prowl For Meal Ideas?...
Do you ever get sick of coming up with a dinner menu every single week? When you ask the family what they want for dinner is the response always, "I don't know."
Make mealtime planning easier with this simple tip. Ask every member in your household for a list of ten of their favorite dishes. Perhaps, even have them add one of their favorite takeout restaurants to the bottom of the list.
Compile all of their meal ideas together. Now you have a master list of meals to use every single night of the week. For a family of four, you have over a whole month's of meal ideas taken care of! Don't feel like cooking? Pull from their restaurant ideas for takeout orders.
Use these easy tips to take the guesswork out of your next month's meal planning.
