Organizing; Personal Organization
Okay, It’s time to go back to “organization” subject; now it’s time to clear your handbag etc. If you are like me you may need these tips. If you are using a different kind of handbag every day or so you probably don’t have any junk in your handbag… Anyway I just thought it’s nice to know some tips about it. So here it is;
Always keep your handbag, wallet, keys, etc in the same place. If you have to bring something with you when you go out (e.g. library books to return, dry cleaning receipt, a gift, etc.), put it next to your keys. You probably can’t go anywhere without them.
If you are away from the house and think of something you have to do when you get home, call your answering machine with a reminder to yourself (e.g. fill windshield fluid tank).
Listen to audio books if you like to read and have trouble finding the time. You can listen while your drive or, clean the house or work in the garden.
Make a master list of people you holiday gifts for. Keep the list in your wallet and shop all year long, taking advantage of sales or just finding the perfect eight or ten months early. Write what you bought next to the person’s name and check him or her off. Make separate list for birthday, anniversary, wedding, shower, or baby gifts you know you will need during the coming year. Then in January, make a new list. You will save money and avoid the stress of needing last -minute gifts.
Keep coupons in your handbag or car. Use an envelope or small plastic bag to keep them in some kind of order. Check them frequently to discard the ones that have expired. At the same time, you will be reminded of the ones you have. If they are ready to expire put them in a more prominent place in your wallet or attach them to your shopping list.
Keep store discount or membership cards together in your wallet so they will be handy when you get to the register.
