Collections: We all have something we have accumulated over the years that grew into a collection. Maybe it is baseball cards; pencils from your school days. Shot glasses? Medals from your sports days? Whatever it is, if you want to hang on to it, if you value it, if it brings your joy, then you need to display it. You should be able to see it every day.
Organizing 101: LABEL MAKER. My best friend. The most basic, best, simplest, clearest tool ever.
Magazines. I always find something I want to reference again - whether it is a great decorating idea, a recipe or a website. Don’t keep whole magazine, instead just rip out the page/piece you want. File it. Recycle the rest of the magazine.
Periodicals have indexes for a reason, to make it easy to find what you are looking for. Create your own indexes - to explain what is in a file drawer; in a cabinet; behind a closet door. Like your own map.
Party Prep: Before a party, write down each dish on a post it note, then stick the notes where you think each dish will go on the table(s) - this helps determine the serving pieces needed and maps out your layout. Saves time.
Electronic filing - the same logic applies here as it does to your paper files. You need to be able to find what you need when you need it. Label clearly, date stamp and be consistent.
Ideas can hit you any time, anywhere. So make sure to keep a pen and notepad (or your mobile phone) close by so that you can capture your next great idea.
