\"Quick<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you dream of quick fixes to your organizing challenges?\u00a0 Don\u2019t we all want to wave a magic wand and make all clutter go away?\u00a0 By nature, a quick fix does not accomplish your real goal of getting organized. However when you have just a few minutes, there are some options that will make a difference for your organizing.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Paper organizing<\/h3>\n

Paper comes in at an alarming rate.\u00a0 We have different papers we need.\u00a0 What do we do with all that paper?\u00a0\u00a0 An accordion file is a quick fix for getting organized. This product has either 7 or 13 slots.\u00a0 Decide on your categories for paper, meaning group them together by what you plan on doing with them.\u00a0 This can be To do, To pay, To file, or Taxes.\u00a0 Another option might be Clients, Financial, or Administrative.\u00a0 Label the tabs and you have a quick fix for organizing these.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Closet<\/h3>\n

Your closet is where you start your day.\u00a0 Why not make it easy to get ready in the morning with a quick fix of slimline hangers?\u00a0 These hangers are truly slimmer so more fits in your closet. Everything hangs at the same height.\u00a0 You will see the clothes rather than the\u00a0 hangers too!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"slim<\/a>

Quick fix for closets: slim line hangers.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Time<\/h3>\n

There’s nothing like a timer to help us be more aware of time. Setting a timer helps us with judging how long a task takes or keeping to a specific amount of time to accomplish a task.\u00a0 Either way, your time awareness improves with a timer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Email<\/h3>\n

Just as overwhelming as paper, email grows to dramatic proportions daily. What’s the quick fix here?\u00a0 Hit unsubscribe as much as you can!\u00a0 With every shopping email or blog post,\u00a0 you have the option to let go.\u00a0 Take a minute to scroll to the bottom of the email and unsubscribe.\u00a0 Remember that minute will save you 5, 10 or 30 minutes later.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The quick fix for decluttering is spending 15 minutes at a\u00a0time culling and eliminating. Use an energy spurt to eliminate what you have not used and don’t love in that quick fix.\u00a0 Get that bag into your car right away and drop it off.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be careful with the idea of buying bins as a quick fix.\u00a0 It can be deceptive to stack up more bins with more stuff you won\u2019t be able to use.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’d love to learn more about your quick fixes to organizing and productivity challenges.<\/p>\n
