JAN
TIP: Evaluate the contents of your bedroom. It’s a
place for sleep, relaxing, and dressing and should
house items related to only these activities.
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
Start the year by organizing the spaces that are just for you—your bedroom
and closet. You spend one-third of your life in your bedroom. It’s the one
room in the house that should be your private sanctuary—a place where
you can rest easily and become revived. Resting is much more difficultwhen you are surrounded by clutter, so set your goals and get started!

THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
Your living room should be a place where you can relax, read, watch TV
or spend time with family and friends. It is very important that everything
has a designated home so that cleanup is quick and easy and you can be
ready for company in fifteen minutes or less.

TIP: If you have papers you refer to often, pin
them to a bulletin board that is at eye level from
where you sit to keep your desk clear.
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
Mail is one of those inevitable pieces of clutter that will not go away. A fresh
batch is delivered to your door every day. This month, create a system to
help you effectively deal with your mail on a daily basis. The home office is
the perfect place to handle mail, so take time this month to organize thisspace as well. It’s easier to focus in an organized work area.

AprilTIP: Put rebate receipts in your day planner and
place them on your to-do list. Most rebates and
reimbursements have a time limit.
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
April brings tax day, so the tips in this month will help you organize your
financial paperwork. Failing to keep your finances organized, pay your bills
on time and keep track of your expenses will cost you dearly. Late charges,
bad credit reports and increasing debt are just a few ways that your dis-organization can cost you. Keeping your financial paperwork thoroughly
organized throughout the year will save you time and money when tax
season rolls around. Plus, you will avoid a lot of anxiety because you will
know every paper you need has a home and can be easily found.

THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
Now that you’ve set up a system to deal with your mail on a daily basis and
you have organized your home office and financial paperwork, you can
tackle your filing system and the piles of paper you have around the house.
Try to get rid of as many papers as possible. Keep essential records andpaperwork only. A slim, efficient filing system is easy to use and maintain.

TIP: Keep in mind that 80 percent of what we file
is never looked at again; therefore, chances are
you can toss the papers you have or avoid collect-
ing them in the first place.

June
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
Take advantage of the warm weather to organize your garage and the ex-
terior of your home. Is it a dream of yours to pull your car into a clean,
organized garage at the end of a long day? You can make that dream a
reality with a little organizing and maybe a lot of tossing. While you’re inthe garage consider organizing the interior of your vehicle as well. Your
yard creates a visitor’s first impression of your home. It is also the one part
of your personal space that can be seen by anyone who drives or walks
by—even those not invited.

TIP: Pack socks, underwear and belts in your

THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
Summer is vacation time, so this month’s focus is organizing for travel. The
purpose of taking a vacation is to have fun, relax, and refresh. Trying to do
too much when you return can undermine what you’ve gained by getting
away. Take time to plan before you leave, and slow down when you return.The benefits of your vacation will last much longer.

TIP: To enforce the regular use of dirty laundry
bins, wash only the clothes put in the bins. Clothes
on the floor or scattered around the house won’t
be washed.
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
August is the lazy days of summer. Instead of tackling one large area this
month, take on a few one-day projects around the house and organize your
bathroom, linen closet, and laundry area. These are small areas that can
quickly be overwhelmed by clutter. Set goals to keep the clutter away.

September
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
This month you will organize your time and schedule. Each day we are
given the gift of time. By choosing to spend it wisely and efficiently, you will
reduce stress, spend more time on the things you want to do, feel more
fulfilled at the end of the day and enjoy a more balanced life. Take chargeof your life by taking charge of your schedule. Only you can choose how
you spend your time. Identify your priorities and set goals to help you make
the most of each day.

TIP: Store items by family member and make
each person responsible for his or her own stuff
(great for when your grown children move out of
your home).
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
October’s focus is the storage areas in your home—the attic, basement,
and closets. When you organize any large storage area, it is helpful to split
the area up into zones. Group all similar items together and then create
specific zones for each grouping. Labeling the zones will make it quick andeasy for everyone in your home to find items and put items away.

November
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
The kitchen is the one room in your house where everyone is welcome.
This is a very important part of the house because it is probably the room
guests see the most. Many activities take place in this area, from cooking
to family meetings. So, it must be clean and clutter free! Set your goals forthis month and get started.

or clean (or dirty) dishes lying around.

TIP: Prioritize and plan your gift- and card-
giving. Decide when you want to finish your
shopping and when you want to send out
cards. Mark these deadlines in this planner.
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS
Holidays are meant to be times of celebration, not times to run around
tired, stressed out, and moody! My suggestion is to imagine how you would
ideally like to spend the holidays and then make it happen. Don’t be pres-
sured to spend it the way society or your family expects you to.
