Day 4/15 Family Time




Day 4!!! Family time. I didn't know this would flow so nicely with what is going on in the world- today is our first day of being allowed to leave our house for essential reasons ONLY, here in Colorado! My husband is still considered essential because he works on cars. He is working, but not all day. Because he owns his own business, it is essential to our family that he works. Luckily, he works alone and doesn't come into contact with a lot of people at one time. He is being safe! When I first made our schedule I put family time in the afternoon, for this reason. As long as he can work he will work, but I didn't want him missing out on family time! And it is easy to keep it when things are back to "normal" 

I challenge you to organize your games. I use one of my linen closets for all of our board games. I also created a system for our card games, that you can do at home! I got the little boxes from Michale's.https://www.michaels.com/recollections-color-…/10468242.html 

Let's Organize our Card Games!

Take the box of cards and a pair of scissors. Cut out the front of the box, the side of the box, if there is a title there. And if the instructions are on the back of the box, cut those out also. Then get your glue gun, and the plastic boxes from Michales. It is ok if your card box is a little beat up, if yours is too worn, then you can print a picture of the game off of the internet, and glue it into the box. 
Glue the pieces into place, you want to be able to see the game you are growing. Remember if you have instructions on the back of the box, glue them so you can read them when you open the box and take the cards out. 
Add cards into the box.

Add the directions so you can read how to play the game!

Now your game will last longer and will be easier to find what you would like to play




You can use the larger case to hold all of your card games in one place.
Make sure you add the game title to the edge of the plastic case so you can see which game you have in there!


If you have board games where the boxes are falling apart, Michales makes these boxes in a 12"X12" size. Use the same steps and preserve your games!

My game closet Before and After
 
I didn't have it organized the best way it was functional, but it wasn't always easy of the kids to grab or find a game they wanted to play. I also have to keep my swim towels in here, so I need those to stay. And the boxes with the blue lids are toddler games that won't fit into cases, but will fit into these bins, because the boxes fell apart! 


I arranged things according to age. I put the games at the hights of the people playing the games. Easy to find, and even better, easy to put away! Things I want to know when they are using I put at the top so I have to get it down for them, and hopefully prevent big messes!

11/15 Home office/Craft areas!

Go through all paperwork and decide what is trash, and what needs to be filed, and what needs to be dealt with right away! Create space for your new piles. We have a few different systems in our office- I have a "need to get to" tray with 3 slots one for each business and then a home one. The for Billy's Business we have wall organizers and each month is a different folder! This makes it so easy to file the papers quickly and they stay organized until tax time! And the third is we turned 2 drawers into small filing cabinets and one hold all of Billys past tax papers, and the other one is for all of our household papers. One drawer is in our office, the other is in our TV stand in our living room! Sometimes you have to get creative!! Wall organizers Filing drawer in our T.V. stand If you have an actual office do you need it to be more than just an office? Ours serves many purposes- It's a craft room, game room and an office.

Why you need a Professional Organizer

Are you one who feels like you will never be able to get rid of your clutter because you can't let things go? Does everything in your house have a purpose to you? Have you stopped even thinking about it because it is too overwhelming? Do you know how much time you are losing due to your clutter? Most people don't realize how much clutter takes over their whole life. When your house is clutter filled, so is your mind. I have worked with many clients who have had these issues. I will break them up into two posts, this one is when its hard to let go of clutter.  In my opinion a great professional organizer will come in and help you make the decisions on your own. If a professional organizer comes into your home and demands you get rid of 95% of your clutter and just starts throwing things into the trash bin, you are not going to feel successful or know how to continue to do it on your own.
