Be Prepared
I really believe that a huge part of home organization boils down to being prepared. This little ink cartridge saved the day for me recently! I was working away in my office, doing some printing, when suddenly I was getting the error message from my printer to add magenta if I would like to continue printing in color. Oh shoot. But then it hit me to open my drawer in my office. There it sat-just the color I needed! I realized that I had thought ahead the last time I went to Staples and purchased the two colors that were showing signs of being low on my printer. Had I waited until the ink actually ran out, I would have been stuck in my office that day-either forced to leave my work to go purchase the ink or forced to finish my printing project on another day. Once I’m in the swing of things, I like to keep going!
There are so many areas where we can just think ahead a bit so we can be prepared and keep ourselves on track and organized. Here are a few right off the top of my head:
- Purchase all birthday and special occasion cards at the beginning of the month for the people in your life so you can send them out on time throughout the month
- Keep stamps on hand at all times
- Look at your calendar on Sunday so you can purchase or prepare anything you may need for events during the week
- Have kids load up backbacks for school at night so you don’t have to rush around looking for something in the morning
- Write down what you need to bring with you to events that are on your calendar so nothing gets left behind
There are countless ways to be organized by being prepared, hopefully this just gets you doing a little brainstorming of your own!
