In 2012, I promised to make things work for me and in an attempt to do so, simplifying my life became the utmost necessity. Check out these easy to do things that can make all the difference to your world and home.


Your Car

Every time you step out of your car for the day, carry all the stuff that doesn’t belong there with you. If it is too much then at least carry a handful. Very soon, you will have nothing to carry bag. Isn’t it a fantastic feeling to drive a clean and smart looking car?

Bathroom

Always in the panic of saving time, we buy more than we can use. In 2012, promise yourself that you will first use up your present inventory of lotions, hair care and other personal products before buying more. And if there are products that are only occupying rack space, then toss them out.

Bills

It is really not smart to always pay bills once you cross the due date. But you can become a smart lady by signing up for auto pay on recurring bills and canceling paper statements. Try to plan all your bill cycles at the same time and select one day to do all payments. Set alerts on your Smartphone to remind you.

Clothing

Imagine one of your GFs who never return clothes asks you to lend one of your outfits. What will you give away and what will be hidden deep inside your closet. Those hidden treasures are all that you need, remaining give it away. This is though heart breaking, but still is an important home organizing tip that all ladies must use.

Clutter

Don’t make organizing your room a task. Just identify 3 big boxes and start with one room at a time. Items that belong to any other room go in a separate box and things that you really don’t require go in the last box. With just 15-20 minutes every day, you would have organized all the rooms. This is the first step in organizing your home.

Plan in advance

One of the very important home organizing solutions is that you should do is plan your week or month in advance. Chart out your work commitments and personal time and balance out both. See what are the tasks and errands that you need to handle, different appointments that you have and even the events that you have to go to. Don’t over commit yourself. Allow yourself some breathing space.

Toys

With kids, there is always too many toys in the room, right? Put aside toys and rotate only some of them to give your kids some variety. They will come and ask for favorites from you. If there are half broken or completely unused toys…dump them or donate them.

Travel

If there is traveling involved during the month, then plan to include just about everything like personal items, electronic accessories, and documents. Simply break the things required in categories according to trips and then organize. You can always make a readymade list laminate and keep it. Every time you travel just refer to that list.
