Misplaced your keys, here's a quick solution...

I've often heard complaints from people that they misplaced their keys. Whether you're at home or in your workplace, you can discipline (don't be afraid of this word, it's not a bad word!) yourself to always be able to locate your keys. One tip for the home is, find a common area (e.g. hook near the door, bowl, countertop) where you can create a "home" for your keys. You will place your keys there each and every time you are not using them and you'll be amazed to see that they will "live" there until you need them again. It will encourage you and cut down on unnecessary stress. If you tend to misplace your work keys, go out and buy one of those large key-rings, like the ones you see at restaurants and gas stations. The key-ring will serve as a visual reminder to you. Also, in case you do leave it behind, you can put your name and office address on the back so it can be returned to you. So...be encouraged as you begin to develop this discipline into your daily routine. Got keys?

Mail piling up, here's a quick tip...

Often times I hear from people that they can't seem to get their mail under control. One tip that works well for me is to tackle the mail on a daily basis. When you come into your home and/or office, go through the mail and place it into 3 piles: (1) Keep - take action (2) Throw away or recycle and (3) File away. You may find it helpful to stand over your recycling bag/shredder so you can take care of it on the spot! Practicing this daily habit will cut down on aggravation and help to keep your mail clutter down to a minimum.
