anyone got any time savers that can help me make life easier? like around the house?
Answers:
group your silverware! emptying the dishwasher will be a snap if you put silverware in grouped type. this way you can just grab one clean section at a time and put it in the drawer.
grab a pillowcase! after doing laundry, fold sheets and keep them together by placing them in the matching pillowcase. no more wasted minutes sorting through the linen closet.
get label wise! carry return address stickers with you in your wallet. when you have to fill out forms like for developing film or for entering contests, just slap on the sticker!

Best advice I can give to young or old is to start as clutter free as possile, then get organized with morning & evening routines, & most importantly BELIEVE IN YOURSELF that you can GET IT DONE by faithfully working in baby-steps.
As FLYLADY would say; YOU CAN DO ANYTHING FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES AT A TIME (or it might even be just 5 or 10 minutes)
Perhaps not new, but "old" is good, too!
Keep a list on refridgerator of shopping needs as they occur, grab that list when you do your next shopping trip, and start a new one when you get back.
Make a list of the things that you want to do. Keep one to mark up and post one on the side for your personal notations. Then as you accomplish things, you can feel proud of yourself. After all, there is no race. It took time to put the place in disarray. Everything takes time - Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Peace and God Bless.
