These are just some of the things I've done my entire adult life to make life easier and more efficient:

1. I keep a shopping list with a pen on the fridge. When running low on something, or an unusual item is needed, it gets noted right away.

2. I make a list of 7 dinner meals, adding any necessary ingredients to my shopping list, so they'll be available and we won't have the same-old meals week after week. This also gives me the opportunity to try a new recipe on a regular basis.

3. When putting my final shopping list together, I put the items in order of the aisles where they're found. I shop at the same 2 or 3 stores, so I know the product placements well. I don't waste time going to aisles I don't need and I'm not inclined to pick up random items not on the list.

4. Before heading out, I list the places in order, from furthest to closest-to-home, so I can make a 'circle' and not back-track. I also note what items I need to take...to return, to drop off, to mail, etc....and make sure they're by the door to put in the car.

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:
