Organizing Tools, Knowing What Is Available

Have you ever thought if you just had the right tool, the right filing method, or the right way to do a task, then everything else would just naturally fall into place.  You would naturally find this in the most logical place, a great store or website filled with these items that can make your life easier.

This week I want to help you realize where you can go to find these tools that can make your life easier, as well as creating a place where you can read reviews of these items.

So, this week I want to tell you about a website, http://wwww. thecontainerstore.com

The Container Store is a place where you can find storage options for almost any need.

Today the keyword seems to be au naturel…or environmentally friendly.  So naturally you will be searching for items that are environmentally safe, yet fit the need you have.  Do you compromise if you can’t find what you need this minute?   Or do you continue searching until you find what you’re after?

If it were me, and I was, as so many people should be, at least environmentally conscious, then I would search this site for Earth friendly products.

With that thought in mind I recognize that many of my clients have tons of CD’s and DVD’s that they need to store.  Many of you use plastic holders you find at almost all of the stores that cater to families.  What I want to show you here, with regards to this, is a product that is earth friendly.

The Stockholm DVD box is an earth friendly paper board box that holds up to 18 DVD’s in their storage cases.

Why would I recommend one box over another?

What I’ve realized is that by not storing your DVD’s and CD’s the cases become broken, the  CD’s or DVD’s crack, get scratched or generally get lost.  So, I look at this as saving myself money.  Being Earth friendly can be expensive, but when a storage item saves you money you have to realize that the cost of not storing expensive items can cost you more than paying a little extra for items that can save your things wear and tear.

Think about what you can store easily, eliminate easily and donate easily and free up some valuable real estate in your home or office, for you to be able to walk more easily in your home or office.

That’s it for today!  I’m off to a client’s so you guys have a great day!
