It also staggers the cost.<BR/><BR/>Another thing I do is I iron shirts for my husband to last him all week, and pair them up with matching trousers. That way I'm sure there's nothing that needs urgent washing to be used during the week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-63666574982877753132007-09-14T11:20:00.000+10:002007-09-14T11:20:00.000+10:00I am the most disorganised person I know.

Its bad, its part of why I have started blogging about my life and trying to get things in check.<BR/><BR/>I would personally LOVE to see more of your organisation system.<BR/>I can be emailed at<BR/>sedarcy@gmail.comSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457013352469491837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-22177537701613513052007-09-12T11:24:00.000+10:002007-09-12T11:24:00.000+10:00I have a wall calendar in my kitchen that I write ...I have a wall calendar in my kitchen that I write everything from doctor's appointments, birthdays,school holidays,social events etc. in. It is in a prominent place, so everyone in my family has no excuse not to know what is happening. <BR/>Also, I have a journal that I use to write down my chores that have to be done, random recipes that I come across, things needed at shopping, phone messages etc, to replace writing on bits of paper that tend to get lost.<BR/>I also have a pantry/shopping list document on my computer that I refer to each week/fortnight, so that as I run low on rice, flour, toothpaste etc, it automatically gets replaced. I tend to do it so that when I open a new toothpaste for example, I buy a new one.<BR/>I also have a corkboard next to my fridge that I pin my unpaid bills to with the one due first on top so I know what's what. I also stick any school notices up there (school sport's day next Tuesday, bring sunscreen, towel etc.). <BR/>I do a lot of other little things as well, but I'll stop there or I'll be going all day. It does make a big difference to keep on top of things. I know that my stress levels go way up when I'm disorganized and racing around in the mornings, or at dinner time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-74921181810650256642007-09-10T15:35:00.000+10:002007-09-10T15:35:00.000+10:00I have a filofax style diary that I use to write i...I have a filofax style diary that I use to write in birthdays/events/appts/bill due dates etc. I leave this open to the current week in the kitchen bench but occasionally I still forget to look at it!<BR/><BR/>I have a "presents" box that when I buy things, especially that are great for parties my daughter goes to etc. I get them and put them aside so I usually have something when she receives an invitation. I also try to buy all gifts ahead of time and especially if things are on sale. I will now be being Christmas presenst when I see things at a good price and hide them away.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636304236237630746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-22824175190294769642007-09-10T09:01:00.000+10:002007-09-10T09:01:00.000+10:00I have a calendar and a big A4 Diary.

Between hubby and I and 2 of our children who work part time it very important to stay organized. Any appointments are written up on the calendar and anything else House jobs etc are in the diary.<BR/><BR/>JayceeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-20988781376893594652007-09-09T09:57:00.000+10:002007-09-09T09:57:00.000+10:00I tend to follow the flylady system a bit by tryin...I tend to follow the flylady system a bit by trying to do a "before bed routine" which involves getting out the empty lunchboxes and putting them on the bench and any other non-perishable items go in there. I also pick out my clothes for the next day as well as my son's. In winter I get the meat out of the freezer for dinner and put in in the fridge to defrost. I find this saves me at least 5 minutes in the morning and there is less to think about.Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066863074405512584noreply@blogger.com
