1. Put an “errand” basket or bag by the door. Fill it with library books to return, items to return to the store, dry cleaning, etc. Then grab the basket and go. 2. Sort dirty clothes by laundry load: white, colors, and darks. When there is a full load, take care of it. This takes 10-15 minutes out of your day instead of spending most of a day doing all the laundry at once.
3. Use a custom grocery list. I know, I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. www.casorganize.com/files/grocery_list6.doc has a wonderful list. Edit the list, so it contains the items you shop for. This makes shopping so much more efficient.
4. Sort the mail as soon as you bring it into the house: bills, to read, to respond, to file, toss, and shred. Take care of toss & shred immediately. Put a basket for the “to read” pile near your favorite spot to relax. Put the “bills”, “to respond” and “to file” piles in specific spots in your office. When it’s time to pay bills and take care of the paperwork, you’ll have everything sorted and ready to go.
5. Set a goal for each day. Determine one thing you want to accomplish each day. It may be as simple as doing something you enjoy for 10 minute or one small step toward a much bigger goal.
