HOME ORGANIZATION FOR STRESS FREE LIVING

It’s time to put your energy to better use. Spend some time shopping for decorative baskets and

cute storage containers, or use ones you already own. Label the baskets according to what belongs

inside (mail, bills, schoolwork, magazines, etc.). Try to place items where they belong on a daily

basis so that you won’t have to run frantically around the home stashing unsightly items before guests

arrive. However, if you occasionally revert to your old ways, you’ll be able to quickly toss items into

their proper containers and avoid hunting for misplaced things later.

Peggy the Procrastinator: “I would go through that stack of mail, but I know I’ll find an over-

due bill and I just can’t deal with that right now.” Every time you begin one task you uncover

three more waiting in the wings. As a result, you put off starting new projects, afraid of what

might surface.

An attractive weekly planner is a great
way to stay organized and to remind

yourself of your daily tasks. This calen-
