STAYING ORGANIZED 5 TIPS FOR
Being an organized person is a never-ending task –whether it’s staying on top of work or handling multiple responsibilities at home. Life can be hectic, so here are a few tricks to keep you calm during the storm.
1. Keep a journal with you to jot down a to-do list or anything you might need to look back on. You can try using note-taking apps on your phone if you don’t like the hassle of bringing a journal everywhere.
2. Colour code your to-do list, calendar and email based on priority or topic. That way, you’ll keep track of deadlines and tasks in an organized and visually appealing way. The colours might even brighten up your day.
3. Plan your meals ahead of time. No matter how busy you get, this is still essential. Plan and make your meals ahead of time so you won’t have to worry about throwing something unhealthy together at the last minute.
4. Take time for yourself. When life gets busy sometimes you just need to take a step back and breathe. Go for a walk and take in the crisp air. Don’t forget to put on something comfortable.
5. Find a space in your house or office to gather all the items you don’t have time to put away. That way once you’re ready to get organized during a decluttering session, you won’t have to clean all areas, but rather just that limited section.

MOVE ON
by SARA DUCK
Did you know June through August is the most popular time to move? If you’re planning a house move soon, take note of these top tips from Aaron Parker of Parker’s Moving.
TIP 1: PLAN EARLY
It’s essential to begin planning your move as soon as possible, especially if you have a lot of stuff to move or are relocating long-distance. Take some time to prepare a list of all the things that need to be done before your moving day, and make sure you stick to a schedule. This will help prevent last-minute stress and ensure everything is done on time.
TIP 2: DECLUTTER BEFORE PACKING
Before packing, declutter your home and get rid of anything you no longer need or use. Not only will this make packing and unpacking easier, but it will also save you time and money when it comes to moving. Sell or donate items you no longer need or dispose of them if necessary.
TIP 3: LABEL BOXES AND KEEP AN INVENTORY
To make the process as organized as possible, label all your boxes clearly and create an inventory list. This way, you can quickly locate specific items when unpacking, and you’ll have a clear idea of what has already been packed. Keep this list with you and check off items as they are loaded onto the truck and also when everything is unloaded, to ensure nothing gets left behind.
TIP 4: HIRE PROFESSIONAL MOVERS
It’s okay to save money packing and moving your items yourself, but hiring professional movers can be more efficient and less stressful, especially if you have a lot of heavy furniture. Not only do professional movers have the necessary experience and equipment, but they also offer additional services such as insurance, packing, unpacking and storage.
TIP 5: STAY ORGANIZED AND KEEP CALM
Moving can be a busy and chaotic experience, but remaining organized and calm can make all the difference. Try to stay on top of your schedule and tasks, delegate responsibilities to family members or friends if necessary, and take breaks when needed. Remember, a successful move is all about careful planning and proper execution.
