Organization (cont.)

7. Toss
Use these suggestions to decide to keep or toss:
*Have I used it in the past year?
*Is it serving a specific purpose?
*Do I still like it?
*Is there a legal reason for keeping it?
*Do I have a place to store it where I will find it again?
And the most important one: If I would get ride of it and need it again someday what is the worst thing that would happen to me?

8. Planning for the week
Get in the habit of having a set time each week to look over the week's activities and plan yourmenus. Sit down with a grocery list/menu planner which you can get for free on Elizabeth's website under free offer (www.elizabethhagen.com). As you fill in the menu for the week check and see if you have the ingredients in your kitchen. When you know what's for supper in the morning the whole day goes better!

9. Calendar
Do you frequently miss appointments and due dates? Perhaps you are using mroe than one calendar. When you have more than one you cannot depend on any of teh calendars so you probably stop using the calendar all together. use one calendar and one calendar only. Start the discipline of as soon as you see an item that needs to be in the calendar - write it down.
