Article #1  Taming the Tupperware® Tiger

Text Box: There is a tiger out of control in nearly every house in this country.  I’m not referring to Barbara Hemphill’s “Paper Tiger” but to the Tupperware tiger.  Most kitchens have at least one cabinet devoted entirely to plastic ware commonly referred to as Tupperware®, although it probably has Rubbermaid, Glad®, Ziploc® and other brands mixed in along with a few butter bowls.
In most homes at least once a day someone carefully opens the cabinet door and very gently sifts through the contents, aware that the wrong move will disturb the sleeping tiger, sending it roaring out onto the floor.  Replacing an item is even more terrifying.  Typically we open the door, pitch the item in, shut the door quickly, and then listen for the sound of settling plastic.            Read More...

Article #2  Organized By Habit – Conquering Your Active Areas

Text Box: 	A new year has begun and many of you have made resolutions. For years I resolved to get organized. All though I was born with a gift for organizing I struggled with clutter and chaos. I spent the first thirty years of my life developing bad organizing habits, and the next ten years breaking free from them. Today, not only am I organized, I spend my days helping and coaching you (my clients) so that you too will be organized.
	What does it mean to be organized? You are organized if you can put your hands on exactly what you need quickly; and if in your twenty-four hour day, you can accomplish the necessary and still be free to do what you enjoy. Are you there yet? If the answer is no, I can help you get there.
	Start by cleaning out and taking control of the active areas in your life.

Text Box: Article #3  What’s For Dinner?
Text Box: “What’s for Dinner?”  If you are on the receiving end of that question, then you are probably a home manager.  One of the most important jobs a home manager has is providing nutritious meals for the family.  This is an area where good planning and organization is the key to success.
A small amount of advanced planning on a consistent basis can save many busy home managers hours of time, a ton of frustration, and a fist full of dollars.  Many full time home managers are excellent in the meal-planning department.  A few home managers with jobs outside the home handle this task effortlessly also.  Most of us fail miserably.  Have you ever wondered why the pizza delivery business is so successful?  It’s to bail out the home managers who did not do any advanced planning.
	Advanced planning is not planning tonight’s dinner as you drive home from work,   Read More...
