We all desire order in our lives, some of us more than others. Here are 10 areas you can get a handle on this fall. It’s all in the spirit of being proactive which allows you to save time and money.

1.    The Calendar

      Do you use one? Paper vs technology

      Do you check it often enough?

      Is it overbooked?

      Schedule yourself a little downtime either daily or weekly

2.   Coat closet

      Prepare for the change in weather

      Locate the hats, winter coats, rain jackets, umbrellas, mittens, gloves and boots. This is when you want to know if the boots fit your children not when there is a looming blizzard!

3.   Medicine Cabinet

      Get rid of expired items

      Stock up for allergy season

      Stock up on the cold/flu medications

4.  Bedroom closet

     Bring out the appropriate clothing for the changing weather-flannel pj’s, fuzzy slippers, sweaters, etc.

     Go through the items from sping/summer and determine what can be donated....
