Keep Track of Dishes

You can make your own note to indicated whether dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty. Just fold the paper over and you only need one note and one magnet.

Homemade Meals

I work different shifts and some weekends, so I spend an afternoon preparing homemade meals and freezing them in microwavable dishes. At mealtime, the family just heats them up. You can take the leftovers to work with you the next day.

Keep it Clean

To keep your house tidy, pick up after yourself throughout the day. When you're done with it, put it away. When you walk out of the room, tidy it up as you go. It only takes a few seconds to tidy up after yourself, but much longer if you let it build up.

Catalog Dates

Whenever a new catalog comes in the mail, I write its expiration date on the front cover with black marker. Then I file the catalogs with the closest expiration dates in the front. It makes it very easy to know when they are out of date.

Dirty Clothes

We have always used two hampers, one for dark clothes and one for light clothes. This way, laundry is a lot easier, with less sorting.

Calendar Sense

I've mounted a big desktop calendar on the wall near the back door. All appointments and special plans go in one place so no one and nothing gets forgotten. It's easy to see who does what when -- we use different color highlighters to denote who's who.

Organize Special Papers

I use a three-ring binder with plastic inserts to store important papers, so they are easy to locate.
