In
the Kitchen...
|
|
|
|
Empty your refrigerator
completely. For any spills, such
as ketchup on shelves, use a
credit card to scrap off access
then clean with soap and water.
When restocking your fridge,
place a new thermometer inside to
be sure the temperature stays
below 40 degrees. This will keep
food bacteria from
growing.
Organize
your refrigerator and have zones
for the different foods. Keep
sandwich foods together. Meats
and eggs should be in airtight
containers-again preventing the
spread of bacteria.
In
your lower cabinets, remove
everything so the shelves can be
cleaned. Insert plastic shelf
liner to protect the cabinets and
make it easier to clean. For
those bottom shelves, if you do
not have roll-out selves this
would be an excellent time to
install. Roll- outs make it much
easier to have access to those
hard to reach areas and are
available at most home
stores.

Organize
Your Time
|
|
|
|
Time is an important element to
include in the organizing
process. If there are never
enough hours in your day, examine
how your time is
spent.
Chart
out each hour of the day
including the activities
performed. Then determine if
there are more productive hours
than others. Is it possible to
get gas, go to the grocery and
the bank all in the same
trip?
During
those hectic days take the extra
time to put things away. You may
think you are wasting time, but
consider how much time are you
loosing looking through your all
that clutter.

MAY
DAY! Organizing This
Spring
|
|
|
|
Is
Spring Cleaning on your mind?
When you look at your home are
you thinking "May Day, May Day"!
Think of "May Day's" as new start
at organizing, or your clutter
distress call.
Add
simple organizing ideas to this
year's spring cleaning and gain
an extra hour each day. Since
most of us spend up to an hour a
day looking for what is needed,
you could actually give yourself
several extra weeks a year by
being organized.
Schedule
one room a day and thoroughly
clean every cabinet and storage
area. Throw out what you no
longer need or use or make a
donation to your favorite
charity.
Stay
focused on that room for the day.
Do not get distracted with other
parts of the home or office.
Moving piles from one area to
another accomplishes nothing.
Take a short break every couple
of hours so not to wear yourself
out. Soon you will be enjoying
extra time this
summer.
