What one thing has made my house cleaner and more organized than anything else I’ve tried?Containerizing everything. It makes a huge difference. I guess it works because it’s part of having a place for everything and everything having a place. Anyway, although containerizing has been great, those nice big plastic rubbermaid type boxes have stumped me. They are great, but you need to label them so you know what you have and where it is. The problem is, almost nothing sticks to those plastic boxes. If you find something that sticks, the adhesive is so permanent that relabeling is difficult. (I like my boxes to look neat, that’s the whole point of containerizing!)
Fortunately, I found a labeling solution:
-
Go to the office supply store. a) Purchase clear sleeves for business cards, the ones that have adhesive on one side. b) Purchase blank business cards . I like to use ones that I can put in my printer, but you could write your labels out by hand, if you prefer.
-
a) Mount the adhesive side of the business card holder to your plastic box. b) Make a label out of a business card and slide it into the sleeve.
Voila! Now you can have nice, neat, beautiful labels, and you can switch them out whenever needed. Most word processing programs have a template for making business cards, so that makes it east to see what font will fit, etc. For more Works-For-Me-Wednesday posts please visit Shannon at Rocks in my Dryer.
