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.

      Is it overbooked?

      Schedule yourself a little downtime either daily or weekly

2.   Coat closet

      Prepare for the change in weather

3.   Medicine Cabinet

      Get rid of expired items

      Stock up for allergy season

The method of piling paper on a desk is the only "organizing" there is! How do you find what you are looking for??

Creating a system that works for you is not as hard as...
