Plan proactively by doing things like doubling upon cooking, putting aside some to freeze for a later meal. You’ll never be caught again with nothing for dinner.
Make and use a workable to-do list. A long list of unrelated items is unwieldy. I divide a page into quarters, labeling the four parts Do, Write, Call, and Buy. I learned this from professional organizer Marsha Sims. Then I categorize my tasks, writing each item under the proper

When you purchase storage containers for a specific purpose—say for a filing system or gift-wrapping supplies—select larger sizes than you need at this time. You’ll probably find you need more space than you expect as you add a little more now and then. And “buy tall” when getting a new step stool for the house. You’ll need two or three steps more often than you think. Be careful, though! Don’t buy jumbo plastic containers if your only use will be to dump a multitude of unrelated junk into it. In this particular case, smaller is probably better.

Place soil-catching mats and rugs both outside and inside, so that by the time someone has entered your house, he or she has taken several dirt-shedding steps on floor coverings that catch soil and guard your house from unnecessary dirt. When you pare and clean vegetables, put down a paper towel to catch the parts you discard. When you crop snapshots, sort mail, or anything else that generates wastepaper, drag a trash can over and drop the paper directly into it.

If a simple solution can meet your needs, by all menas, embrace it! Think kiss, keep it super simple. You’ll make moving towards a more organized life easy if you kiss your way to order. You can do less laundry. Pass out one towel per person a week. Change bedsheets every two weeks or more. Wear clothes more than once, when you can. ( Slacks, skirts and lightly worn tops often can be worn several times between washings) Redirect children who want to change clothes (and towels) more than is needed.

Wear glasses that darken automatically  in the sun. my path was strewn with lost sunglasses before I changed over to a prscription pair that turn dark in sunlight and beome clear again in the shade.

You can cover you bed with a comforter or thick quilt. A fluffy topper hides a multitude of wrinkles underneath. Perfectionist,especially, spend too much time trying unnecessarily to straighten the sheets and blankets. The main questions is whether it “passes” as a made bed.

Cook with nonstick cookware and replace it when it starts to stick. It cleans so easily. Sometimes all you have to do is swipe it with a little soap and water and put it back. It’s far easier than putting it in and taking it out of the dishwasher. Avoid complicating your life with innovations that don’t work for you. For instance, I tried the rechargeable-battery approach. It promise all good things. I approved of the savings and the ecological benefits. The only problem was that I never was able to use it. Remembering which batteries needed charging and which didn’t , and where each group was kept, was just too complicated for me. Undoubtedlt many people do it asily and can’t understand what my problem is. I don’t fully understand it either. The only thing I know is that for me buying already charged batteries is the best way (no, the only way) to go.

Sometimes the simple solution means giving up a complicated organizational trick. I confess that in my pursuit of order I tried keeping my spices alphabetized. I quickly found it more trouble than it was worth. There were numerous occasions when I have overorganized, only to abandon my system for something more effective and easier
