In the news...
You’ll want to read this article published in Lori’s Dayton Daily News column, Clutter Affects Family, if clutter is causing relationship issues between family members.
If you have an idea for an article, I’d like to hear from you. Please contact me at lori@forteorganizers.com with your article ideas.
Paper Hang up...
When filing papers it’s best to staple pages together instead of using a paper clip when possible. Paper clips can attach to existing papers in the file which makes filing more difficult because papers get caught on one another. Make filing easy…use staples instead of paperclips.
Delegate what you can...
Next time your child needs a ride to and from a sporting event or school function have them make the call to see if other parents would like to carpool. They can report back to you whether the other parent would like to drive to the event or pick up afterwards. This saves you time and helps your child become more responsible in taking care of their needs. Try it…it’s amazing how more responsibility children can take on if you let them.
Announcements...
