We are all in a time crunch it seems these days.  With the never-ending demands on your time how do you stay ahead of the curve?  By doing a little more each day to remove clutter you save cleaning time.  Cleaning does not always need to take hours when you begin to think E.C.O.  You will be amazed how 15 minutes of straightening-up a couple times a week will make your home look and saves you time during your regular cleaning routine. 

Here are some ideas to get you started on the path to being clutter free and gain more of your valuable time.  I know you have more, post them below.  We like sharing tips.

  1. Pass along your subscription to publications you no longer read by calling the subscription department and change the name and address to have it delivered to someone else like a friend or family member.
  2. Hang photographs on the wall to minimize tabletop clutter, preserve furniture longer, and save on cleaning time.
  3. Keep a pair of scissors in the car and kitchen.  They are a huge time-saver when opening bags, cutting scallions, roadside emergencies, or opening bakery boxes tied with string.  They travel better than a knife.
  4. Clean out your closet twice a year to support a local homeless shelter or friend them along. Not only will you have more closet space you may save money by adding your new-found fashions.
  5. If you open and read all of your mail daily, you will save a pile up on dinner table.

Unclutter Your Desk – 5 Ways To Make Your Desk Neater

by A cluttered desk is more than just an eyesore. It wastes your time, and that costs you productivity and money. Here are five ways to get your desk neat and organized and keep it that way.

Messy desk

 

Do you feel like you’re buried under a mound of paper by the end of the day? If so, join the crowd. According to the Smead Corporation, which manufactures filing systems and records management products , the average office in the US spits out more than 45 paper missives each day – adding up to a whopping 1300 sheets of paper each month. Where does it all go?

good chance that where that paper is “going” now is on top of your desk. And in the hutch over your desk.. and next to the printer…And, Oh no! The cat just jumped up on your filing cabinet and knocked a big pile of papers onto the floor.

What can you do to put an end to the clutter when paper seems to clone itself when you’re not looking? Here are several suggestions:

1) Start with a plan
Sort through and categorize the papers on your desk. Consider which you’ll need close at hand, which you need to save only for archival value and what you can read and toss. Give each of those categories of paper a “home.” Make a list of your categories if necessary so you remember whether proposal samples get filed under “Samples” or under “Proposals“. Store that list on your computer – and resist the temptation to print it out!

2) Start with the filling cabinet, not the desk
The rationale for that is simple. If you don’t have an orderly system for filing papers – and room in your filing cabinet to put those files – you’ll never get your desk cleaned. Toss out old files and review your overall system. Set up your filing system so files you need regularly are near at hand. Consider color-coding to group similar files together and make them easily identifiable. Move files you don’t need often to an out-of-the way location.
