GON Reader Organizing Tips and Ideas

GON Reader Letter #1

When I'm Ready to Shop, I Print Out My List

I've been a subscriber for several years and thoroughly enjoy your ideas every day.

I'm not a great user of my cell phone other than for text messages or calls so for me a paper shopping list is the way to go.

I've simplified it by keeping a master list in my computer in a folder for my store name. The list is organized by the way the store is laid out. When I'm ready to shop, I just print out the list and check the items I will be purchasing on that shopping trip.

I include extra lines at the bottom for items that may not be on the list. This works really well for me and I've had several people ask about the list when they see it.

-- Becky Hurdle, Big Pine, CA

P.S. from Maria Gracia: If you'd like to see a copy of Becky's list so you can picture what she means, I've uploaded it to my web site. Click here

GON Reader Letter #2

A Way for BedSheets and Towels to Dry Faster

My tip for the dryer is to clean the lint filter halfway through the cycle. In doing so, bedsheets and towels dry faster.

-- Marilyn Shenker

GON Reader Letter #3

Here's How I Easily Eliminate Food Stains on Clothing

I eliminate food stains on clothing by pre-treating with liquid dish soap. It works on dishes, so makes sense that it works on fabric too!

-- Elizabeth Joy

"I've never been particularly skilled at organizing, but your newsletter has been a game-changer for me. Your tips are so relatable and easy to implement, even for someone like me with limited time and energy. Thanks to your guidance, I've been able to transform my chaotic space into a peaceful sanctuary. I can't recommend your newsletter highly enough!"
