Coffee shop musings

I am sitting here in a coffee shop getting ready to do a presentation on paper management so I thought I would share with you some of the information I have regarding junk mail. Did you know that every year 100 million trees are used to produce junk mail in America? That is the equivalent of deforesting the entire Rocky Mountain National Park every 4 months. Every 4 months! Most of us are on the internet so anything we need is right at our fingertips and is always more updated than any piece of junk mail you receive in your mailbox. Here are a few websites you can visit to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive: proquo.com and donotmail.org. Check them out, take a moment and save a forest.

School is starting so start getting organized!

With the cute little boogers off to school this week, it is a perfect time for all of us to let out a collective sigh of relief. This is definitely the perfect time to get yourself organized and start looking ahead towards the holidays. I know, I know...who wants to think of the holidays already? But if you start now, the holidays will be a breeze. Take a look around and see what bits of clutter you can get rid of. Even just one or two things a day will really add up. DO NOT purchase MORE holiday decor until you have all of yours out on display. It will only add to your decluttering effort AFTER the last piece of pecan pie has been eaten.

So, go forth and get ready! Santa Claus is coming to town...
