Neaten your noticeboard or notice area

[Michele]

Neaten your noticeboard or notice area.

1. Remove all the invitations, photos, kids’ drawings and other items from your noticeboard, fridge door or towering pile on the kitchen counter.
2. Replace only the most current, inspiring or useful items.
3. Put anything you really want to keep (really?) in a memory box.
4. Put everything else in the recycle bin.

And you’re done!

Doesn’t it feel good to focus on the important and inspiring things again?

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

Start the 5-minute timer now.

We usually just throw everything onto my desk. Well that system was a sure failure. We don't have a notice board because, get this, I think they look messy hahaha.

So I have decided to try and implement that household folder that I have read about on here. I have named it "Mum's Brain" because all the information that will end up inside of it is usually just filed in my brain somewhere. This will come in extremely handy in a couple of weeks as my support network takes over here at home for a while. Everything they will need to know about the running of the house will be within the folder, from the doctors phone number to the after school activity roster.

Raleigh, you'll find heaps of forms for "Mum's Brain" in your Library of Resources.

My noticeboard is on my ipod I has been just me... for now.

I don't keep a notice board either.

The kids paintings and drawings go up on the fridge for a few days then are either binned or put into the Memory Box. For now, I just had to keep the painted red heart that my 3yr old gave me for Valentine's Day. So sweet!

But I am a sucker for putting receipts in a pile (just in case I need them later). 95% of the time I don't. They now have been cleared off the kitchen bench, culled or filed. So much tidier.
