Quick Organizational Tips and Tricks!
Week 4 Tip: Sort Mail Over Garbage - Sort your mail immediately once you bring it in and over the garbage can. This ensures junk gets thrown away and important mail is all that is kept.
Week 3 Tip: Use a Laundry Bag for Extra Storage - A laundry bag can hold so much more than the dirty clothes. Fill a mesh bag with soccer balls, tennis balls, and footballs. Hang it in the entryway or out in the garage. Grab on the way out to play.
Week 2 Tip: Post-Date Your Products - The first time you crack open a product in your fridge or pantry, write the month and year on a small sticker and place it on the bottom of the jar or bottle. Next time you reach for it, you'll know just how fresh it really is.
Week 1 Tip: Shop Your Closet - Grab a bunch of clothes from your crowded closet and try them on in front of a full length mirror. Put the ones that you would actually buy again back in and donate the rest
