The Everyday Things

As I am writing this, I have a to-do list on my desk. It is amazing to me how much more productive I am when I have that little sheet of paper with items listed that I must get done. 

This list got me thinking, what everyday things do I leave undone because I don't have them on my list? I ran across a website that has ideas for to-do lists and suggestions for overlooked tasks.


Let's begin:

When was the last time you put your cake stand in the bathroom? Or you used tin foil as a glassware scrubber? Well then this site is for you: New Uses for Old Things. Just beware, you may be on the website for hours! Happy re-using!

Always seems like there should be an easier way to get from point A to point B, right? Or Ways to get things done quicker. These suggestions may be common knowledge to some but I appreciate that they are so many at one location and it's spelled out for me: Shortcuts

Now this is right up my alley- Organizing with Everyday Items. In my family, we are on a budget and that means shopping smart and re-using. My favorite is using the vase for extra toilet paper and using a tissue box for holding extra plastic bags (those bag holding contraptions costs $$). Such genius. Sadly, I wish I could come up with this stuff on my own.  Take notes, I'm sure you have at least some of those items lying around your house now!
