16. Messages
Does your family answer the phone and you never get the messages? Would you like a central place for the family to leave messages to each other? Create a Family Message Center. Purchase a white board and attach it to your kitchen cupboard or wall and make sure it is right by the hone. Get in the habit of checking it first thing when you come in and last thing before you leave home.

17. Kitchen
When you organize your kitchen and start putting items back in the cupboards - think A, B, C. A's are items you use daily and should be put lower in the cupboards and closer toward you. B's are items you use weekly and can be put a little further up and farther back in the cabinets. C's are items used monthly or seasonally. They can be put WAY up high or not even stored in your kitchen.

18. Meals
Prepare a whole week's worth of food on Saturdays. Then, you'll just have to heat up your pre-made meals during the week. This is a great idea if you want a healthy meal, but get home too late from work to cook. If you're really ambitious - cook enough for a month! Don't forget to use your crock pot, also, to make an easy meal.
