Unless we know how to control the flow, it can very quickly take over our home. There are some very simple ways to "control the flow". When you bring the mail into the house, don't just throw it in a big pile where a mountain can quickly form. Take a few minutes to quickly go through it to reduce the amount you actually ... http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2495 http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2495 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:30:00 EST I don't know about you, but I am inundated each and every day by e-mail. I have my personal e-mail and my business e-mail. I am involved in Free Cycle ( www.freecycle.org ) and get close to 100 emails a day just from that. I am on Facebook and get emails with status updates as well. What is a busy mom to do? You need to learn how to manage all the e-mail you receive without driving yourself crazy! E-mail is a great way to stay in touch with friends, family and business associates ... http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2494 http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2494 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 08:30:00 EST We are so busy these days, running here, running there. Do you find that you are running into the grocery store at the end of a long day to pick up some things or are you scheduling a time to go the grocery store to do the food shopping for the week? Either way, in order to save time, you need to do your food shopping by the aisle. If you shop in the same supermarket all the time, you should be familiar with the basic layout of the store. This can help when you are making your grocery list ... http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2493 http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2493 Fri, 2 Oct 2009 08:30:00 EST Some people go food shopping without any coupons. They don't want to concern themselves with organizing coupons. As a result, they don't save as much money at the check-out as those of us who do collect coupons. However, for us busy moms who do take the time to cut out coupons and go on line to print them out, we need to keep the pile organized. I have collected coupons from the Sunday paper and weekly ads for as long as I can remember. I am one of those people who get a big thrill ... http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2492 http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2492 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:30:00 EST The traditional way of obtaining coupons for the supermarket or other stores from the Sunday paper is just one option you can use to save money at the store. These days, you can also find plenty of coupons on-line. There are many site available to the consumer that, if you take some time to utilize, can really save you money. Currently, if you plug in "coupons" on the Google search engine, you will get about 95,000 results. These sites not only provide coupons for groceries, but also ... http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2491 http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2491 Fri, 4 Sep 2009 08:30:00 EST As a busy mom, you are responsible for running the household, caring for your children, being a chauffeur, and perhaps having a full-time career among other responsibilities. Part of those responsibilities includes meal planning. As a mom, it is our responsibility to make sure that the family is fed and fed well. Providing good nourishing meals is important to us. However, chances are, your schedule is so chaotic that you hardly have any time to prepare dinner let alone find good nourishing ... http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2490 http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2490 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 08:30:00 EST Do you have good intentions to recycle but just never get around to it? Perhaps it's because you have not set up a system to do so. It is easy to do and good for the environment. First you need to look around your home and select a convenient spot that has enough room for two containers. Some suggestions are: the garage, the area under the sink in the kitchen, next to your regular trash can, a pantry, a storage room or under an open counter in the kitchen. Even if they have to be out in ... http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2489 http://www.onlineorganizing.com/BlogEntry.asp?id=2489 Fri, 7 Aug 2009 15:06:37 EST Most of us want to help the environment by "Going Green" to make it a better world for ourselves and our children. However, I believe some do not practice good "green" habits because they think it is too complicated and time consuming. Not the case. You don't have to go to extremes to be green. Just by doing some basic, simple things, you can contribute. Besides recycling (see my future blog called "How To Create A Recyling Station"), you can: 1. Stop buying bottled water. ...
