STAY ORGANIZED CHECKLIST: WEEKLY

Grocery Shopping and Meal Planning
# Plan out the week's meals on Sunday afternoon and create a shopping list.

# Designate a time for coupon clipping and commit to it. Recycle unused coupons.

# Shop once a week for family meals, bringing your menu plan with you.


Family Schedules
# Review the calendar for the week with other family members to ensure you have all appointments accounted for.


Laundry
# Set up a routine schedule for dry cleaning. Many dry cleaners will pick up and deliver weekly; your office might offer a similar program.

# Attempt to do as much washing, folding and ironing before the week begins. This will save time during the week.


Car
# Remove trash, and organize must-haves for the car.

# Find homes for everything that does not belong in your car.


STAY ORGANIZED CHECKLIST: MONTHLY

Bill Paying
# Pay bills once or twice a month or set up automatic payments for recurring bills such as the mortgage, utilities and credit cards.


Paperwork
# File paid bills in an accordion folder or similar filing system.

# Update your designated file for receipts pertaining to taxes and deductions.


Bulk Shopping
# Make a bulk shopping trip. Buy household items such as paper goods, cleaning supplies and toiletries. Purchasing these standard items on a monthly basis will streamline weekly shopping.


Calendar
# Review the calendar at the beginning of each month to plan for upcoming events or gift purchases.
