August Organizing Tips

Get Ready for Back to School!

1. Go through your child's closet and dresser drawers. Remove
     outgrown or worn items. Make note of clothing that needs to
     be replaced.
2. Obtain the school's supply list. Check for usable items already in
     the home before buying new items.
3. Make required doctor or dentist appointments before school
     starts. Arrange for sports physicals.
4. Have back up day care planned for sick days, snow days, etc.
5. Obtain the school calendar on-line and update your calendar for
     early release dates or teacher planning days.

I had a great pleasure of being interviewed on the radio with other organizers to discuss Back To School Ideas. A number of mothers called in and asked questions which we answered and we gave tips for making back to school smoother.

You can find the link to listen or download the interview at iTunes at this website:

Listen in August 4th or after.

Paper Organizing

I've worked in some business offices lately helping clients have better work flow for their tasks. Here are some tips for your office:

1. Decide what is holding up your work. Can't find files? Can't
     find the correct forms or notes?
2. Write down the order of the task. Use this order to place the
     needed forms or files.
3. Use a file organizer on top of the desk or an easy to reach
     file drawer for these forms or files.
4. Decide where they should go after completion.
5. Label all these areas.
6. Clean out your file cabinets and drawers. Put often needed
     items very close to you and lesser needed items further
     away.
7. Put "like" items together. Vendor files go together. Current
     client files go together. Former client files go together.
8. Files for running your business go together - office lease,
     insurance policy, city license, etc.
9. Employee files go together - payroll, employee files,
     applications for employment.

Have a specific area for each type of file - label it - and try it for a while. Modify it as needed.
