Common Sense Tips
The below list is based on things that were modeled to me as a child and what I've learned since establishing a home of my own. One reason I started this list is that, while doing some extra sorting and cleaning during my recent Christmas break, I noticed a few habits I have. Additionally, my husband and I are in the process of establishing a room in our home and so we've been rearranging some furniture. The repurposed room will soon be an office/bedroom space that used to be my son's room when he lived with us. If by any chance you feel inspired please share your tips. One last thought, I'm currently experimenting with salad preparation mostly centered around ways to prep lettuce ahead and using a salad spinner so that I can efficiently make side salads something we have on a regular basis.
- set things out ahead, in other words, make a big task into many smaller ones
- stay in one room until the task is done
- dressing for the snow/wind/very cold temperatures: long johns tucked in, socks, warm pants, sweatshirt, outer gear such as coat, gloves hat, scarf
- keep things somewhat spaced out and in groupings according to how they are used ie "Don't crowd me kid!" -HNB
- being organized is often safer and always helpful when you are in a rush
Upcoming Blog Themes

Stay well.

I've been buying the rectangular containers of spring mix because it is pre-washed. When I do get lettuce (we also make a lot of salads), I wash it first, spin, and set the spinner on the dish drainer (thinking it will get more air flow to dry; we say hopefully a lot). THEN! I start getting supper around.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that staying in the space until the task it done is great advice. Also, I put on long johns, then socks with long johns tucked into socks so that the long johns don't creep up when I put on the pants.
Finally, have you watched "Get Organized" on Netflix? These two ladies are over the top, but do have good ideas.
