What were your goals this new year? We’re 23 days in now, can you believe it?! One of my goals was to get organized. I have received a new planner called the Weekly.Agenda from Get Buttoned up to review. I absolutely love this planner because it’s a great size. I have had many planners in the past that are just too oversized and bulky which makes it hard to carry them around. This planner fits perfectly into my purse and doesn’t take up so much room that I can’t fit other items.
The planner has a pocket on the inside of each cover that you can slide stamps, receipts, etc into for safe keeping. I love the little notes at the top of each week to help you prioritize your Organization, Me Time, Home and Events. For example, this week it says:
Do something for someone else today, just because. When you share your time with others, it’s amazing how your world expands. Plus, you will brighten their day in the process.
Haha, I was just reading the key features and didn’t even realize the corners were perforated to easily find the week you’re in. I’ve been using the little ribbons to show which week I’m on. There’s also a Notes section and shopping list/errand list in the back. The lists have perforated pages as well so you can easily tear them out. It’s really helped me to keep track of my posts due, reviews and giveaways to get done and pick winners, as well as following up with PR reps and my every day duties such as getting kids to and from activities.
If you’d like to see what the inside pages look like, go ahead and visit Get Buttoned Up and you can enlarge the pages to see them better.

Organizational Tip? hmmmm…. I have a friend who would always say when dealing with clutter to touch it only once. If you pick it up it must go to where you want it to stay or go into the trash. This is a do as I say not as I do tip because I have a very hard time with this one.
put things away when you are done with them.
Ha! The corners. I love agendas that have corners.. mine doesn’t right now and that’s the one thing I’d change.
My organizational tip? In your calendar, use a different color for each person so you know who needs to be where when at a glance.

Org tip: handle the mail once, pay it, file it, shred it, whatever it and be done with it at once.
An organizational guru once told me that if you use the same colored/type hangers in your closet, it will look better…more crisp. I just did this after moving into our new home and it makes a difference! Also, containerize!! Baskets are great for almost anything…pantry items, toys, etc.

My tip is to make a to-do list for every day and also start each week with a plan of what you want to get done and how you are going to do it.

keep a dry erase calendar on the fridge to organize everthing
Keep a chalboard in the kitchen!
Write everything down! I keep pads of paper around the house. In front of the family computer, on the refrigerator, and all about the house. It is the best way to keep communicating and organized!

Shelving and containers are great for organizing closets and garages. In the kitchen you can use racks.
My tip is to have a place for everything-ex: a cup for pencils, a drawer for batteries, etc.
