Things to Organize in the Spring



What kind of thing MUST you organize in the Spring?


1) Schedule an appointment for an AC checkup for your car and home!

2) When you do the seasonal clothing switch, here are a few organizing suggestions.
Closet structure – Check to see if any part of the closet needs adjusting or improvements?
Purge – Before you start the switch and possible purging, check out some of the spring and summer clothing trends.
Storage Protection – It’s very important to pack away wintery items so they are safe and protected. Whether you need to protect from bugs, dust, heat or humidity, take the extra care to protect the clothing for 6 months.

3) Make a commitment to your health and physical well being. Set up a program, make a chart or calendar to track your plan and your progress, turn up the heat and set a goal!
Diet – What type of eating lifestyle will best support your physical and mental health?
Exercise - Whether it’s for the shorts and short sleeves or for the extra activities that require better fitness, start now so you have a couple of months to get your body into shape!

4) Summer Activity Preparation
Summer Equipment – Maybe it’s a boat, a bike, camping gear or any other piece of equipment. It’s time to clean up, restock supplies, refresh the emergency kits, do a safety check and schedule repairs. Even if you have been using it all year, an annual review is a good, organized practice.
Travel – Research options now for summer travel. Then make reservations, schedule time off, and make any other arrangements necessary for fun summer adventures.
Register for Activities – Research and register for summer programs. They fill up fast!

5) ENJOY Spring Weather
Get outside before the heat, or bugs and humidity keep us indoors.
Plan a picnic, schedule a hike, or even enjoy dinner on the patio!

#14 - Gym Bag Organizing

Welcome to Way #14!

First thing is to go get your gym bag?

So, if you just said, "What gym bag?" your only excuse for that remark is if you always work out at your home, have a locker at a workout facility or wear the same clothes over and over. ..... to which I say we have to have a whole other conversation. Ewwww!

Fitness and Health goals are likely on most lists for the New Year, so let's do some organizing to support those goals!

Reports state that if you want have a packed and supplied gym bag it will dramatically increase your chance of working out!

If you don't have a gym bag, there is an alternate for you below.

Joyfully,
Brenda

Way #14b

If you don't have a gym bag because you work out at home, then it's time to clean out and organize your storage area for workout supplies. It might be a room, a drawer, part of a closet, in the garage, etc.

Spend 15 mintues:
*get rid of items that don't belong there
*put items that need to be there back,
*create a new storage solution if supplies are not organized
*sort reading materials
