10 STEPS TO CAREFREE LIVING
- Manage the amount of items brought into the house.
- Find a place where you will put an item back.
- Break your project up into shorter time increments.
- Baskets and containers are our friends.
- Be aware of the prime real estate spots in your house and fill them with your everyday items.
- Try to touch paper work only once. For example, when you bring the mail in, don't make a pile. File, not pile.
- When packing think of stacking. Make sure your boxes stack and are stable.
- Purging is an ongoing process.
- Eliminate "tired" items.
- Being organized frees your time to do what you like to do.
