A good time management skillset allows us to be productive which falls into the category of organization. Getting a lot done is productive and the definition of productive according to the Merriam Webster dictionary is, ‘yielding results, benefits, or profits’. An example [...]

How Cardboard Boxes Easily Become Clutter

Cardboard boxes are great tools for temporary storage. Notice how I used the word ‘temporary’? They are not designed for long-term storage for obvious reasons. At some point over time, their stability comes into question due to the environment in which they live. Cardboard boxes have other temporary uses as well.  They work great for moving your things from one home to another, or when you are downsizing to take donations of home goods to a local charity.

By |2020-11-17T13:41:11-06:00August 19th, 2020|Categories: Downsizing, Storage|Tags: , , , , |

In January 2017, about 95% of Americans owned a cell phone of some kind.

I could mention how many shopping days left until Christmas, but I don’t want to scare you, we have Halloween for that. The big holidays, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas are the ones that create the most stress. Everyone is worried about gift giving, decorating and making sure the house is clean.
