“I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.”
— Mrs. P. —
Busy and hectic lives oftentimes mean throw “it” in the cabinet wherever it lands. This results in hunting and gathering when “it” is needed. A small fix is the step-up shelf photographed here where we can clearly see what’s in the cabinet and grab and go when “it” is needed. That’s a time saver for the busy and hectic.
A few minutes spent on this drawer made all the difference in the world! That’s it! It took just 10 minutes to sort it and organize it. Using drawer inserts my client already had, see how much easier preparing a quick lunch will be! Easy! Simple! That’s living organized!
Tip of the Week
COLLEGE BOUND?
I recently helped a family prepare their child for college… not academically, but how to live with others in a dorm. Especially if you have a child who is a bit “messy”… how will they get along with a roommate in a small dorm room? If both roommates are messies, then ugggh, but usually one is a neatnik and the other a messy, thus a dilemma. Teach your child to make the bed every morning. If underbed storage is needed contain items in a bin designed for that purpose. No food or empty soda cans allowed under the bed!
Wash clothes often to avoid that smelly room. Fold clothes and fit into drawers or bins. Sprays cover up smells, they don’t eliminate them. Disinfectant wipes are a must for healthy living and work well in those mini-fridges. Minimize make up or hygiene supplies and store in a carry-bin. Perhaps share shampoos/conditioners with the roommates to minimize the bottles in the shower. Keep tidy! This can be accomplished by learning these skills at home before entering college and roommate bliss will be your friend.
