___ 1. Set a schedule on your home's thermostat: Learn how to use the 'scheduling' feature on your home's thermostat. For instance, on the one in my house, for this time of the year in Wisconsin, I set the evening temperature to 67 degrees. It's warm under the covers when we're sleeping so it's OK that it's a bit chilly in the house at that time. At wake time (6:00 a.m.), I set it at 70...so it's nice and warm while we're prepping for our day in the morning. If you leave your house for work and nobody is home, you can also set it to switch again to a cooler temperature, so you're not running high heat all day...and you can set it to go back to a comfortable temperature at the time the first person arrives home from school or work for the evening. Doing this helps save on fuel costs and keeps your home comfortable night and day without any work on your part. We never raise the heat too high as it's easy to grab a sweater or sweatshirt if necessary.

___ 2. Organize your cooking utensils: Empty the drawer where you keep all of your cooking utensils and gadgets. Donate those you never use. Clean out the drawer well. Use your vacuum's small spaces attachment to remove any crumbs or debris. If you need a drawer organizer, pick one up. Then organize your cooking utensils and gadgets back into the drawer.

___ 3. Recycle old magazines: Do you have piles of old magazines sitting around? If so, recycle a whole bunch this week. This includes old craft magazines...are you really going to make a craft that was in a magazine from three years ago? If you actually do have intentions to do this, just keep the one or two instruction pages...not the entire magazine.

For super quick details, and a great video, about the world's sharpest knives, visit:

http://www.getorganizednow.com/rd-chef.html

Did you know that there's nothing more dangerous in the kitchen than cutting with dull knives? A dull blade requires more effort and pressure to cut. This means there's a higher chance the dull knife will slip with a lot of force behind it, increasing the chances of an injury...and possibly a visit to the ER.

This particular set of knives is very unique. They're incredibly lightweight and are super-strong (they can easily cut through a butternut squash and makes slicing meat a breeze). This is because they're made with a ceramic blade that is actually 10 times sharper than steel.

You've got to check them out. For details, visit:
