Helpful Hints

Here are some helpful hints that are proven to assist in keeping you organized:

1. If you have time to use it, you have time to put it back where you got it.
2. Hangers are for clothes; door knobs are for hands.
3. Chairs and sofas are to sit on not to lay clothes on and hang things over.
4. When one walks into a room:

   • Kitchen:  Dirty dishes are out of sight
   • Bedroom:  Bed is made and clothing is put away
   • Bathroom:  Counters are clear of makeup, etc.
   • Keys hand on a hook in the pantry or near the door.
   • Car:  Clean out daily the items not needed.
   • Garage:  Purge two or three times per year.
   • Videos/CD's/DVD's: Get racks to store - purge regularly.
   • Closets:  Install racks for shoes/purses etc.
   • Cabinets:  Use Turntables

While you are talking on the phone at home - clear up around you i.e.:   clean out a drawer.
