Jan.25, 2019 Life can get chaotic, but that doesn’t mean you have to become stressed out when it does. There are a few things you can do when your schedule gets hectic that can help. Keeping lists and creating a routine are just a few things you can do. Read our tips below to help you stay organized when life gets hectic. Create a Routine: How we start our days can have a tremendous impact on our lives. For instance, exercising in the morning can boost your mood and get you energized for the day. Staying in bed after your alarm goes off will only bring about frustration and make you feel lazy. Every morning you can schedule out the tasks you need to complete for the day. Make sure you schedule in time to relax. Otherwise you could end up exhausted and overworked. Use Lists: It’s easy to become forgetful when you have too much going on in your life. Bring a pen and a notepad with you wherever you go, and write down what you need to remember right when you think of it. Another way to keep track of things and stay organized is to find premade lists to help you remember. Be sure to check out our Grocery List Templates. Say Goodbye to Clutter: Clutter tends to accumulate when you get busy. Stay organized by making sure everything has a home when it’s not in use. Buying translucent bins and storage boxes will help keep things neat and tidy. Too much to organize and not enough time? A professional organizer can help make things easier by creating a custom organizing system. Ask for Help When You Need It: Sometimes there’s just too much to do and you can’t do it all alone. Don’t be afraid to ask a family member or friend for a little help when things get too hectic. Most people will be happy to help, you just have to ask. We hope our tips help next time your life gets hectic. Be sure to check out our Grocery List Templates a We recommend Hammermill® Copy paper, 20 lb. for printing our Grocery List Templates.

We've all done it! Halfway through vacation, we start to worry about our overflowing inbox, the meetings we're missing and what will be waiting for us when when we get back to the offic. Here are a few tips to ease the transition from a walk on the beach back to the daily grind.
1. Make your vacations a REAL vacation. Your out-of-office reply is there for a reason! Don't check you email every day or call in to see what is going on. Take a break... it'll make you stronger in the long run! 2. Give yourself a transition day or two. Rather than coming home the night before you go back to work, give yourself time to run errands, pick up groceries, do laundry and gear up a bit. 3. Make a plan for your return. Don't overbook yourself your first couple of days back at work. Carve out time to go through emails, dig through anything that accumulated on your desk and get back in the groove! Block out this time on your schedule so you don't get booked for meetings! There’s a reason why we keep those loose receipts, notes to self and random doodads. But without a proper place to put them, these items soon turn into clutter, sprawling over counters, shelves and desktops. What’s an efficient way to take control of clutter and reclaim our space, once and for all?
