Simply Organized 4 Life - Periodic Tips

I can't believe it, and I hope it is not too early to say, but I think my business is finally going to take off.  I have been so busy with preparation for my booth in the local home show this weekend, and I am so tired, but so very excited that I have a consultation appointment coming up even before the show gets underway.  I believe my 6 months of advertising efforts have begun to pay off.


Anyhow, I have decided that in honor of my impending success that I am going to periodically offer a few tips and tricks as I come across them myself:

Tip #1 is for the garage and/or workshop.   A spice rack, the flat ones that you can hang on the wall (as pictured), or the square ones that spin on a lazy susan, are perfect places to keep your screws, nails, nuts, washers, etc.  The jars can be labeled and easily viewed from wherever they make their home. 

If you have a large amount of screws, nails, nuts, washers, etc., a great way to always find the exact one you want is to put each type in a different drawer.  On the front of that drawer, get a glue gun and glue one of screws, nails, nuts, washers, etc., to the drawer.  This way you can always go right to the drawer you need without having to pull out every drawer in the shop just to find the right size screw.


I have two ideas for slogans.  One is, "Eliminate chaos and clutter - get organized!"   The other is, "Organizing your home; organizing your life!"   Any comments as to your favorite slogan would be much appreciated.
