Balance through Organization

Here's your mid-week Moment of Balance brought to you by the Work-Life Balance Institute for Women and Balance Magazine, helping you to be empowered, be inspired and be connected.

On this Sunday morning's edition of Be You Radio on LITE FM, you'll learn how to Get Organized.

Here are some quick tips to get you started:

1. You've heard the phrase "a home for everything and everything in its home". Well, it works. When you designate specific drawers, shelves or containers for particular items, it's a breeze to put them where they belong, instead of leaving them in another pile in the kitchen.

2. Take 10 minutes at the end of each day to put things away. When you have those "homes" designated, you can accomplish a lot in a little time. And taking a little time each day will keep the mess from building up and becoming overwhelming.

3. Keep just one master to-do list or notebook. Every time you write something on a scrap of paper or a post-it note, transfer it to the notebook. This way won't lose hours searching for that phone number you need right now.

You'll get lots of great tips for Being Organized - and re-claiming your time - this Sunday morning at 6 on Be You Radio on 101.5 LITE FM. Join hosts Liz Sterling and Maria Soldani from the Work-Life Balance Institute for Women, along with Diane Hatcher from TimeSavers USA and Maria Murphy of Simply Put Together for a fun and informative morning.
