Here’s something you can do to get better organized – and it’ll take you just 5 minutes!

Establish an Errands List

1. Find a notepad or piece of paper and a pen.
2. Place somewhere convenient – beside the phone, on the fridge door, or beside your bag or briefcase.
3. Create 4 sections in columns, rows or quadrants.
4. Label the sections based on your needs; eg: Groceries, Errands, Shopping, Library, Children’s stuff, School, etc.

And you’re done!

Now you have a simple and practical way to capture all the to-do items that need you to leave the house.

Remember: 1. Move fast. 2. Don’t overthink. 3. Feel great about getting organized!
