While I don't follow FlyLady as well as I should, I have picked up tips from her. Getting rid of clutter, organizing necessary items and being frugal. Here's one instance:
I'm sure that many of you have these floating around your homes: personalized mailing labels sent by various organizations as a donation incentive. I knew that I had a couple of sheets on my desk and I thought that I might have some more in a basket but I wasn't sure.
Today, while looking at a catalog from Colorful Images, I noticed that they have an organizer specifically for labels. Well, I'm too cheap to buy something like that, so I came up with my own method.
I'm a big fan of office supplies, so I took a look in my storage closet. I found a thin 3-ring binder (about 1/2" spine) and some page protectors. Then I searched my desk areas and gathered together all of my labels. Most of them are sheets that are either folded or microperfed. I unfolded or separated each sheet so that all of the labels are visible. Then I put 2 sheets back to back and put them in a page protector.
Now I know I don't need to purchase any mailing labels (for probably several years) and I can find any style that I would like at any time!
