SCHEDULE IT.<br />

When it comes down to it, organization<br />

is built on routines, not storage<br />

systems.<br />

Busy families can benefit from<br />

scheduling a daily “pick-up time.” If<br />

paperwork and mail is an ever-present<br />

problem, assign one place for<br />

sorting, purging and filing every day.<br />

PRACTICE PREVENTION.<br />

To achieve lasting organization,<br />

establish ground rules for what stays,<br />

what goes and when. A few examples:<br />

“I will not keep magazines older than<br />

two months” or “If it’s worn, torn,<br />

stained or broken, I will throw it<br />

away.”<br />

ADJUST AS NEEDED.<br />

Expect to make some adjustments<br />

as your system is put to the test of<br />

everyday life.<br />
