ORGANIZING DOES NOT NEED TO BE EXPENSIVE, OR EVEN COST YOU A DIME!

Organizing has become a lot less expensive since Ikea came town, but it still doesn't need to cost you a dime.

Before you buy storage containers or plastic tubs/totes, consider the boxes that reams of paper come in from Office Depot/Office Max. They make wonderful for storage containers.

You can't see what's in the box but there's an easy work around. 1) With a thick black sharpie write the general contents on the sides, top, and bottom. Write the detail of the contents under the general heading with a fine tip sharpie. 2) Take pictures, print them out on 8 x 10 paper and tape the picture to the box.

Wine/liquor boxes also work however the paper boxes are the best choice. Paper boxes are consistent in size/shape/dimension which makes them so easy to stack on the floor and/or place on shelves.

Before you buy boxes, containers, totes, etc to organize, think about the items around your house or your office that won't cost you a dime.

ORGANIZING WITH LAZY SUSANS -

Fridge - Use your Lazy Susan in the always-packed fridge where it can become a lifesaver. Use them for items like soda and juice, yogurt, fresh fruits, condiments, or even just leftovers. If you would like, take an extra step and paint your new tool with a few layers of chalk board paint and then on the Lazy Susan itself, label when leftovers were made.

Cabinets - Place a Lazy Susan under the sink, in a bathroom or in any cabinet and use it to organize cleaning supplies stashed in the back of storage. Try arranging them around the circumference of your Lazy Susan in order of your cleaning routine, then just spin, grab and go.

Craft/Garage - Mount your Lazy Susan upside down to the bottom of a cabinet or table, then glue/nail/screw the lids of jars around its edge. Once your jars are filled with craft supplies, simply screw them into the lids. With a turn of your organizer, everything is right in front of you. Take this same idea and apply it to your garage, perfect for the handy man/woman with nails, nuts, bolts, screw, etc.

Now if I could only invent some sort of Lazy Susan for shoes!!

Need ideas or help getting started, post on my wall and I'll will help!

Thank you! Kara-Ann

Complete Office Organization -Part 2

I must have done well as my next project is....

Employee I make very anxious because he is a......let's say collector, one who does not throw anything out. He has paper planner books from 1988, hanging file folder racks and containers in front of filing cabinets that are full, and then some filing cabinets that are empty but one can't get into due to stacks of papers and items such as slides and slide carousels that haven't been used in years.....do they even make slide projectors any more???? Stay tuned...
