Your Garage - Turning it Into a Work Room
A lot of homeowners decide to use their garage for something else other than housing their cars. Depending on where you live and your preferences, this room can be turned into something that fits your needs. Sometimes you can make it into a half-and-half sort of thing; housing your car and serving another function. Many people like to turn this area into a work room, and if that's something you'd like to do, there are some things you should consider.
What You Envision
Do you like to work with wood? Would you be interested in having some kind of metal shop, or possibly a place to work on cars? Your garage is one place where you can make this dream come true. Even if right now all you do is park your car in it or use it for a store room for tools and equipment, with some changes you could turn it into another kind of area. Think about what it is you want for the long term.
Planning
When you've decided what kind of work room you'd like to make your garage into, your next step is making plans. Make a list, draw some plans on paper, and don't hesitate to consult with a professional to get expert tips and ideas. If you'll be doing quite a bit of changing and remodeling, it's also a good idea to check to see if you need any permits. You want to ensure that you do everything by the book; you don't want to have to undo any of your hard work.
Building Your Work Room
If you have experience with construction and remodeling, then you might want to tackle the job of turning your garage into a work room yourself, perhaps with some help from friends. If you don't have the experience or expertise, however, it's best to hire a contractor to do the job. Whatever way you go, be sure to know exactly what you want. Find the best deals on the equipment you'll be using in your work room, and make sure that everything will be placed in a safe and convenient area. You may need to add extra outlets, which might require the services of an electrician. Be sure that you or your contractor builds and remodels responsibly.
Turning your garage into a work room can be a worthwhile task, as long as you do everything responsibly. Careful planning at the beginning, and paying attention to details every step of the way can help ensure that you'll be happy with your choice for a long time.

How to Motivate Yourself to Organize
Organizing is probably not at the top of your list of fun things to do, is it? If your clutter is overwhelming, it's especially difficult to get started. Here are some easy tips to motivate yourself to organize.
1. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just just take the first step." You don't have to organize your whole house today. Just work on one small area-- a drawer or a cabinet.
2. Buy a good organizing book. Once you begin reading it, you'll feel compelled to start organizing.
3. Forget embarrassment. Invite an organized friend to help you. Hire a professional. It's easier to organize when you can talk through the clutter.
4. Set the mood. Put on some fun music. Open the windows. Choose a starting point and just do it.
5. "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence," said Calvin Coolidge.
Keep trying. Do a little bit daily or weekly and you'll soon find that you are more organized than you ever thought possible! About the author: Free time management tips booklet, meal planner, and daily organizing checklist at http://www.ineedmoretime.com.

How To Organize Your Inbox
As we all know our inboxes have turned into modern day filing systems – and just like in the ‘old’ days they can get chaotic and out of hand in no time. Attempts are made to control the unruly inboxes, but for the most part messages are swept into folders that act as catch alls for everything (unorganized amalgamations of incoherent mess – thank goodness for advanced find!).
Think of the benefits an organized, logical filing system would mean for you: referencing to emails that you’ve received, find and view attachments again, decrease your scrolling time, and if you ever need someone to go in and look for something, you will be able to point them in the right folder, rather than having them rummage through all your emails.
Now that you’re eager to change your unorganized inboxes, here are some tips to help you on your way.
Inbox: Your Inbox should be just that – an inbox, not a permanent storage folder by any means. Even if you have a ‘misc’ file off of your inbox, keep your inbox clean and tidy. If you receive emails on a subject that you’re in process of dealing with and you’re not ready to move them into a more permanent folder, create a ‘2do’ folder off of your inbox, from there group messages into subfolders.
This is a great way to keep organized and an easy reference to see what you have to do.
How to use it: When you receive an email for an ongoing or upcoming task, create a folder in your ‘2do’ folder with a name related to that task or client. Move the email into that folder, create a reminder or appointment if necessary, and —voilà !— you now have an organized inbox. When you receive more emails related to this task they can now go straight into the subfolder that you created. Once you have completed this task you can easily move all the contents to a permanent folder of your designation. The key is to keep on top of it and once you’re done with a subfolder in your ‘2do’ folder list, delete or move it. Keeping the folders after a task is over will hinder your organization and add to your electronic clutter.
This method will allow you to have an easy visual reference for work that has to be done, and even if some tasks are ‘back-shelved’ for the moment, you can still see them and keep them fresh in your mind. Once you are able to concentrate on the emails that are just coming in, you will be able to focus more on your business and less on your clutter.
Subfolders: Don’t be afraid to use subfolders, even subfolders in subfolders. Putting items into logical groups is a key to keeping your files organized.
How to use: For example – You may have a number of clients and a couple of different companies that you do work for, and each client/company will have multiple tasks, projects, instructions, etc. Under your Inbox, create a file for each company, under the company create a folder for each client, and under each client create folders for the number of different tasks that you perform.
Having a place to put messages as they come in is a key to staying on top of your tasks and messages. Inboxes have a way of getting large and overwhelming very quickly, putting these steps in place will help to control the unsightly messes and as a bonus keep you organized in the process.

Organize Life-tools You Need To Organize Your Home And Your Life Now
Many people today suffer from a lack of organization, both in their home and overall life. The truth is, you could probably instantly skyrocket your productivity at least 100% (likely more) by simply organizing your belongings around your home and office. Here are some tools to help you when first embarking on your goal to organize your life.
First of all, one of the most important things you can do is identify somebody that you know and has their life in order, and glean information from them. There is nothing more powerful than to find somebody that lives an effective and organized life and find out from the master themselves.
Quite simply, there is a lot of garbage information being published about what it takes to achieve good organization today. Most of it comes from people who have no idea what it takes to accomplish maximum effectiveness in their homes and lives. Before listening to advice, pay attention to the source.
Make a plan. There is nothing that’s more powerful to achieving your goals than having a plan to start off. Many people set far too general goals when first embarking on any area of their life.
Examples of generalized goals could be, I want to get in shape, or I want to get organized. What does that mean?
In order for this plan to fly, you need to have clear, specific goals that are well-defined and written out. Very likely, you will find it most effective to set long and short term goals. For instance, your long term goal could be getting your home organized in a year’s time. Your short term goal could be getting one room in order within a month.
It’s amazing how many people embark on a mission to accomplish ‘a goal’ without really knowing what they are after. That’s akin to driving in your car without any idea of your final destination; it would be pointless.
After you have your goals in mind, write them down on paper and put that paper in a place you can view it often. Knowing a target in your head is not enough; it needs to be in a place where you can view it often and constantly motivate you to achieve your goals.
Finally, you need to determine why you want something. It’s not enough to simply want to get organized-you need to know why you have this desire.
For instance, you might want to achieve greater productivity at work, earn $25,000 more per year, have more free time to spend with your kids, etc. If you don’t know why you are after a goal, it won’t provide a very meaningful target.
While the above tips may seem simple, it’s amazing how many people set out to achieve a target without knowing what they want to accomplish. The simplest and yet most powerful forces to achieving your goals is knowing where you are going and why you are going in that direction. Follow these tips, and you will organize your life faster than you ever thought possible.

Basement Remodeling - Creating A Basement You'll Love
Most basements are dark, gloomy, and simply serve as a storage area for old toys, clothes, seasonal items, and anything else that is not used on a regular basis. Most of us rarely go down into the basement unless it is to unload more clutter that we don't want or need.
But, why not turn this gloomy storage room into something functional and useful? Remodeling your basement is a cost-effective way to significantly increase your home's living space. Suddenly you could have a nice, cozy guest room, a playroom for your children, a home office, a game room; the possibilities are endless!
Below are five simple steps to a brand new basement.
1. Repair any Basement Water Problems First
Even if your basement hardly ever has issues with flooding or dampness, it's best to take care of the problem completely before beginning any remodeling efforts.
Permanent solutions can take time to put into operation. A smart place to begin is to get in touch with a home inspector who specializes in waterproofing problems.
2. Decide What You Want to Use Your Basement For
This is where you can turn lemons into lemonade. Your Basement has poor lighting? Consider setting up a dark room or a home theater. Is your basement lonely and isolated? The isolation helps provide a nice sound cushion for noisy activities such as a teenager hangout, a game room, or a place for your kids to practice their musical instruments to their hearts content. Use your imagination and come up with something that will benefit your family’s lifestyle.
3. Consider Professional Advice with Your Basement Design
Even though your basement might not be much to look at now, you'll want to end up with quality living space when the project is finished. An interior designer or architect can help you get the most out of the space. A little forethought and careful planning now can help you design a space that is attractive, comfortable and practical.
4. Consider the Air Circulation
Something important to consider is the air circulation of your basement. When your home was originally built, chances are that there were very few if any registers or vents installed in the basement. When you remodel your basement, you need to think about the need for good air circulation, adding openings where necessary.
To be on the safe side, install a carbon monoxide detector in your basement so that you'll have an early warning of any problems with the venting of the furnace or any other major appliances.
5. Make the Most of Your Basement's Natural Light
Depending on what you are using your basement for, you may wish to add more natural lighting. This can be done by enlarging your basement’s windows. Another benefit of larger windows is that they provide additional escape routes in case of fire.
Some may be concerned that by having basement windows that is providing easier access into the home by thieves. One way to lessen that risk is to install glass bricks instead of conventional windows at any location that is high-risk.
Take full advantage of the effect of regular windows by mounting some windows in the interior walls between rooms that open pathways for natural light to reach interior rooms.

Bathroom Organization
If you're lucky enough to have a "guest bathroom", one that isn't used by the family and one where you can always keep clean hand towels hanging for the guests, good for you. For most of us however, we have one or two bathrooms, and they both get a lot of use from the family members on a daily basis. Let's see how you can organize your bathroom so that it's guest ready too.
The one thing that most of us have too much of is lots of bottles of "stuff" sitting around the sink and countertop. Go through these and discard what you don't use on a daily basis, and what only has a drip left in it. Go buy two decorative baskets and have a "his" and "hers". One for his stuff, and one for her stuff. You could keep your toothpaste, hairspray, brush and comb, moisturizer, etc., in a basket that can be simply picked up and moved when guests come, and then put back when you're ready to use them again.
If you like to have magazines in the bathroom don't let them just pile up in a corner next to the toilet, get a nice magazine rack for them.
Next take a look at the inside of the shower. How moldy is that curtain? They cost around $4.00 - buy a new one. Look at the bottles in the shower, they tend to get left in the shower even when they're almost empty. Throw them out and try to streamline the number of bottles in the shower. If you don't have built in shelves around your shower get an organizer that hangs over your showerhead, or one on an extension pole you can put in the corner of the shower.
A cheap way to make your bathroom like new is with accessories. Buy a nice shower curtain with a matching rug. You can also get matching towels. If you have limited towel space you can buy a towel rack that hangs on the wall, they come in many different designs. With a nice wall towel rack you can make a display of beautifully colored towels - that you can also use too! Purchase a set of matching bathroom accessories, soap dish, toothbrush holder, cup, liquid soap dispenser.
I think you're going to love your bathroom!

7 Quick and Easy Garage Organization Tips
Need fast and simple solutions for your garage organization problems? Here are seven tips to help you get that garage in order and organized for good.
Hanging Racks
Getting racks that you can hang from the rafters of your garage works great for a variety of items. This garage organization solution works especially well for bikes. It keeps them from taking away valuable floor space while still keeping them easily accessible.
Hooks
Hooks are a great solution for many garage items. Long handled items that have a hole in the end work well to hang on hooks. If you use tarps or any sort of cover for your car or grill, hanging these things on hooks in the garage when they are not in use works very well.
Pegboards
This is one of the best garage organization tips that there is. Pegboards are the most flexible and inexpensive garage organization tools that there is. You can easily change how your garage is organized just by changing where you put your pegboard holders.
When you do get it organized exactly the way you want, take a picture of it and hang the picture up next to the holders. Do this for every section of the garage that has pegboard holders. It works best to do this for each section of the pegboard rather than taking a picture of the entire thing.
Shelves
The best way to use shelves in your garage is for storing containers and smaller items. Make sure that whatever shelving you install will be able to handle the weight load of what you are going to put on it.
Keep sharp and dangerous items off the floor
This is one of those garage organization tips that seems obvious but which is not always easy to follow. Making sure that things like rakes and hoes get put in their proper place is important for safety. When these items end up on the floor, you can have an unpleasant surprise if you are not watching where you are walking. Always put back items in their proper place that are potentially dangerous.
Secure hazardous items
This is another one of those garage organization tips that has to do with safety, always an important topic when you are dealing with garage storage. Anything that is toxic to humans or animals should be kept in a secure area that small children and pets cannot reach. Things like paint, weed killers, bug sprays and gas all belong in this category. If you have pets that go in the garage and they can climb, this means putting these items in high cabinets that you can close. If you have children, it is always a good idea to let them know at a young age what is and is not dangerous in the garage.
Wall Tool Holders
These work well for weed trimmers, shovels, rakes, garden equipment and brooms. Having a wall tool holder not only helps keep these items organized but it also means that they stay off the floor.
