5 Tips For The Road Warrior

1/25/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Are you a “road warrior”?  Whether you travel for business on a regular basis, or just every so often we have put together a list of tips to help make your travels less stressful
 
Tip #1 Packing
  • Limit Luggage To A Carry On
This eliminates the stress of lost luggage and saves you time when you arrive because you’re not waiting in baggage claim.  A good strategy is to take two equal sized bags.  Almost everyone has a big roller bag and briefcase, but one roller bag can fill an entire overhead bin. One should be the maximum size to fit under the seat and the other should be flexible so it can fit into any odd space available in the overhead. 
  • What to pack
What are the most important items you should always remember to pack?  We found this great infographic that should help.

Tip #2  Arrive Healthy
               Airplanes are full of bacteria and viruses, but you can stop those germs cold.
  • Hand Sanitizer – Use often think of all the common areas you touch through your journey. GOJ 9652ssec
  • Sanitize the tray.  The folding tray is rarely cleaned and is teaming with bacteria.  Carry some antibacterial wipes such as Clorox on The Go Disinfecting Wipes  and wipe the tray before you use it for anything. Then wipe it again.
  • Bring supplies like  Airborne, Asprin, Alka-Seltzer and Cold/Cough relief​
Tip #3  Eat Smart
               Don’t settle for a fast food diet just because you are on the road.
  • Go for protein over carbs – it takes longer to digest and burn, and therefore lasts longer.
  • Stay Hydrated. Choose bottled water as your preferred beverage. Water keeps your skin looking fresh and your mind alert.
  • Carry healthy snacks with you so you won’t be tempted to eat fast food. KIND healthy grains or Kashi Go Lean bars are easy to pack and will satisfy your cravings.
Tip #4  Power Up
  • Charge everything to maximize the charge before you board the plane.
  • Invest in a portable charger such as the Weego PRB BP52T or the Verbaitum VER 98357
Tip #5  Be Nice
  • Smile and be nice  - no matter how frustrated you get, kindness goes a long way.

​Three Ways to Be More Organized This Tax Season

1/17/2017

Blog post originally posted on Avery's website HERE. Links below have been changed to order your supplies direct from Twist.

It’s the start of a new year. A sense of optimism and renewal is in the air. But those pleasant feelings can fade away once those pesky reminders that tax season isn’t far away start to invade your mailbox – such as W-2, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, and 1099-MISC forms.

While you can’t avoid tax season, you can make it less stressful through better organization. So, let’s look at some quick ways to do that.


1) Be kind to your eyes with clearly identifiable folders

It’s frustrating enough dealing with taxes. Don’t compound matters with folders that feature indistinguishable labels and indecipherable handwriting.

With bright, distinctive colors, Avery Removable File Folder Labels help your folders stand out, and make it easier to put your tax records and receipts into the correct folders. Clearly marked labels can speed the file-sorting process and promote accuracy.

Plus, it’s a snap to create easy-to-read labels with customized categories exactly the way you want them. Just use the free label templates available on Avery Design & Print Online. Then print, peel and stick.

Want to feel really organized? Color code the folders to keep related tax records together. For example, use green for banking and financial records and red for medical receipts.

2) Keep your mind on track with reusable calendars

On the way to April 15th, you’ll have some important dates or goals to keep in mind. These could include:
-  Deadlines to receive forms from employers and financial institutions
-  Personal deadlines for organizing or preparing tax paperwork
-  Meetings with your tax preparer
-  Filing for an extension
-  Signing and mailing your return

Dry Erase Calendars are perfect for this! Choose your favorite and then use Avery Dry Erase Markers to write down your tax-related dates. Afterward, simply erase your notes with a quick swipe – and enjoy a clean calendar month after month.

3) Snap your paperwork into place

Avery Heavy-Duty Binders are a home safety deposit box for all your tax paperwork. Organize information into categories with Avery Dividers. For small, loose items such as receipts, tuck them into three-hole punched Avery Sheet Protectors for safekeeping. For paperwork that needs your immediate attention, use the spacious pockets inside the cover to hold records, forms and notifications. Be sure to include the tax year into the spine holder for easy reference. And keep copies of your return in the binder, so you can refer to them next tax season.

Chances are you’ll never look forward to tax season. But you might be surprised at how a little more organization can make you feel less overwhelmed by the tax preparation process.
