____ 1. Be prepared for cold and flu season. We're headed into cold and flu season...are you ready? First and foremost, eat healthy (lots of veggies and fruit), get lots of rest, exercise, stay hydrated (water!), wash your hands thoroughly and often, keep your home and work environment clean, try not to touch your face, and don't stand too close to anyone you know is sick. If you normally get a flu shot, this is the time to get one. Prevention is your number one defense.

However, even preventative measures don't always ward everything off. Keep your cold and flu remedies in one place, so when you get that first sniffle or scratchy throat, you'll be prepared. Go through what you have and get rid of any expired cold remedies.

Personally, I like to take a more holistic approach to colds, and stock up on honey, cinnamon, tea, ginger, lemons, garlic, saline solution for clearing up nasal passages, salt for gargling, and Vicks VapoRub. I also make homemade vegetable stock this time of year and freeze it, so it's quickly on hand for soup.

That being said, if you get the flu, bronchitis, or something more severe than the common cold, keep your doctor's number on hand for further advice and schedule an appointment if needed.

____ 2. Delete unwanted cell phone photos. Cell phones have made it so easy to capture memories, which is good. What's bad is that most cell phones are literally STUFFED with photos taking up valuable storage space. While you're watching TV this week, or waiting for your kid's music lesson to end, plow through your cell phone photos and delete as many as you can. Yes, some will be worthy of keeping forever, but you'll likely come across many that can go immediately.

____ 3. Increase lighting where needed. Is there a particular area of your home or office where lighting is insufficient for your needs? Identify those areas and increase the lighting in those spaces. You may have to buy another lamp, if you can't find one you already own that can serve this purpose. You may have to switch out dark shades for translucent ones. Your productivity can actually increase if you're currently working on something in a dimly lit room and you suddenly let some light in.
