Did you now that living an organized life can save you time and energy, plus make you more productive? And I guarantee you’ll be happier. Try these tips to get you started:
1. Set up a paper throwaway system. Dispose of your unwanted mail immediately after you read it.
2. Automate your bill payments for everything! Go paperless when you can.
3. Keeping a daily journal will ease your mind. Write down those appointments and thoughts that nag at you and stay organized.
4. Name all your computer documents the same way every time. Try topic/title/date.
5. Empty our purse when you get home. Leave your must-have items, such as wallet, lip balm in one place so it’s easy to change purses.
6. Trim down your financial budget to three categories: what you want, what you need, and what is best for your financial future. You’ll get out of debt sooner and you’ll watch your money continue to grow.
7. Leave your mindless work for when you’re tired, and optimize your tasks for when you perform best.

Really good suggestions, Rory. I use a treadmill desk so I can keep moving while I’m at my computer.
I keep a basket for each member of the household on a sofa table in the family room. I use it to give back to them all the things they leave around the house each day. They have to empty it before bed each night.
Such a good idea, Lori! Thanks for the great suggestion.
I guess, I’m fairly organized according to your list. But, being handicapped, my house is totally disorganized! I just try to do small tasks every day.
Good for you, Linda. A little at a time is the best way.
I try to keep everything in the spot where it belongs at all times until it is paid or expired. I get pretty anal sometimes about it. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to function. LOL
I tend to be the same way, Lori, LOL!
All good advice.
Thanks, MM!
I use Alexa to keep my grocery list on my phone. When I run out of something, I tell Alexa to put it on my list before I forgot to write it down.
I have an Alexa, Dianne! That’s a great idea!
Grocery shopping and meal planning
Get all coupons and store ads, your paper and pen and sit at the table.
Once you know what coupons you have and what’s in the ad make your meal planning based on what you save on.
Then make your grocery list. If you know your store layout put your list in order of your store. This will save you time from running back and forth through the store.
Great suggestion, Tammie. I’m a coupon queen. 🙂 And…I do my grocery shopping online.
Thanks for your excellent suggestions, everyone!
Rory Lemond–sincere congrats–you’re the winner!
