More and more people are going paperless when it comes to bank statements and bill paying. Magazines are now available on iPads, but I still prefer my glossy magazine. For many businesses, paper is still around and receipts need to be accounted for. The paperless office is yet to come. And I see more paper in homes and offices than ever before as the volume of emails increase.
Sometimes paper piles up all over the kitchen counters and the top of the desk. Have you every found yourself in a panic searching for your hotel or flight information at the last minute? You know it is there somewhere in the piles of paper but where is it?
Or maybe you have an invitation to one of your kids birthday parties or tickets to a concert. Where did you put it?
Having one place to keep important information or quick reference is key, whether you have a business or not. Take a few minutes to watch this video I prepared for you and then let’s get your Action Files set up today!

Getting ready in the morning can be stressful when getting yourself ready and kids off to school. If you think about it, when your closet, bathroom and kitchen is organized and you can easily find what you need when you need it and you’ll have less stress getting ready in the morning. On the other hand, if your bathroom, closet and kitchen is cluttered and disorganized, you start your day in a panic, you’re running late and speeding to drop your kids off at school.
Let’s start by getting your bathroom organized so getting ready in the morning is less stressful. I want you to start your day with a sense of calmness. Watch this video to get some ideas on how I maximize space under a bathroom sink. I’m the “Queen of maximizing vertical space” and then organizing what needs to go in the space.
Get out your measuring tape, a piece of paper and a pen, write down the measurements and watch this video before you go shopping. The biggest mistake people make when organizing anything, is they go shopping first and then are disappointed when they get home and the shelf or container doesn’t fit or work like they thought it would. Stick with me each week and I’ll help you save money by sharing my favorite organizing products and solutions to organize your home, office and life.
Product Resources & Tips on How to Use:
The grey drawer organizing unit that I used in the video also comes in white and black. I buy this product at Staples and Real Canadian Superstore. Similar drawer organizing products are available at Storables and The Container Store. Here’s my secret to making this organizing product work under most bathroom sinks – this unit comes in different sizes and you can remove or add drawers since it snaps apart. How cool is that. Another tip I want to share with you is to make sure the drawers don’t pull all the way out of the unit. The Gracious Living drawer organizing unit stops drawers from pulling completely out of the unit, causing all the stuff in your drawer to fall on the floor. When I buy organizing products, I’m always looking at how the product functions and does it simplify your life!
