Fabulous Organizing Tips and Thoughts
from GON Readers
Here are a bunch of tips and thoughts from GON Readers to brighten your day...
Organizing Kids Clothing
I shop for kids clothing everywhere I go--garage sales, resale shops, etc. In
my basement I have 6 large
Rubbermaid totes
labeled with sizes and seasons (i.e. 6-8 fall/winter). Since I only have boys,
it is easy to keep track. When I purchase a new used piece of clothing, I wash
the item and then put it in the appropriate bin until they grow into it. This
works equally well for hand-me- downs. I have one bin reserved for winter coats
and snowpants and one for shoes/boots.
It takes a little time, but twice a year when the seasons change, I do a
thorough 'sort' and cast out anything that won't fit anyone, is stained, or out
of style.
Plus, my kids know if they ever have a friend spend the night and he forgets
any item of clothing, mom has it downstairs!
--Cheri Bales, Schoolcraft, MI
Keeping Paper Clutter at Bay
Like most other moms out there, my days are filled to overflowing with all the
things we need to accomplish, and we are ever on the search to find that
shortcut to help us out. I've signed up for several email newsletters to help
me find that recipe that takes less than eternity to make or that
one-in-a-million craft project for the kids' classrooms.
Instead of automatically downloading and printing each newsletter, I set time
aside each week to scan through them and if something strikes my fancy I ask
myself what is the likelihood I'll actually use that article/recipe/etc.
Actually, what I ask myself is whether I like it enough to handwrite it out.
It has become so easy to print everything out that I became overrun with papers
and lost track of what was what. So I started handwriting those things I liked.
It has not only ensured I'll get things I will use and enjoy (the kids love
some of the recipes), but also that I don't have mountains of paper to keep
track of and to shuffle from here and there.
--Tamara Zimmerman, Missouri
Before You Toss Expired Coupons
I collect a ton of grocery store coupons and use them often. But sometimes a
bunch expire before I have the opportunity to use them. But did you know that
military families overseas can use coupons up to six months after they expire?
On the last day of every month, I grab all of my unused, expired coupons,
separate them into categories (food, non-food, baby, pet), and mail them to:
Support Our Troops
P.O. Box 70
Daytona Beach, FL 32115-0070
This organization then distributes them to various bases overseas and at home
based on information they have regarding the needs of the communities they're
serving.
Please be sure to sort them before you send them, because the organization nor
the military has the extra manpower to do it.
In doing so, I'm keeping coupon clutter at bay...and supporting troops at
the same time!

All people have clutter to some degree. You may have a little. You may have a
ton. MOST people are somewhere right in the middle.
For anyone who has clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS. Small
clutter challenges soon turn into large clutter issues.
Plus, clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may
have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in
the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home.
Clutter can actually invade your life in FOUR forms...
1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter
Once clutter is here, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...
There is only one way to get rid of clutter...and that is by using a proven-
effective clutter-removing system. Only then will you be able to face clutter
head-on and have the clutter-free life you deserve.

glorious, clutter-free life. For more details, visit:
