Spend more money. Buy fewer things.

Cheap things usually are.

Try using your money more wisely.
Spending a little more initially  to get an item of higher quality is a better use of your funds.

Better craftsmanship and higher quality materials create products that are nicer to use, hold up better, wear out less often, and need replacing less frequently.

Better tools often make a job easier,
quality clothing looks nicer longer, and
most cheap food is highly processed and less healthy.

(Frugal is different than cheap. 

Frugal means buying the good stuff when it's on sale.....)

The next time you're shopping
consider how much you're spending 

and the value you are receiving.

Return on investment

Bang for your buck.
Results based on effort.

You get the idea.

You may have a long list of cluttered places in your home
that could use your attention.
And what's true is:  You have a limited amount of time (energy and interest).

Consider which project is going to get you the most useable results.
Where can you spend thirty minutes in order to gain five minutes every day?
Which areas are 'shoulds' and which areas impact your quality of life?

Sorting through the box of photos or sorting the pantry?
Arranging your underwear drawer or moving your summer clothes to the back of the closet?
Paring down your craft supplies or clearing the garage so you can use the space more effectively?

You get the idea.

Decide which project is really important to you.
Which space frustrates you on a daily basis?
How could organizing one space alleviate problems in another area?

You don't have to commit to a several hour project,
although that might be just the catalyst you need.
Ten minutes of serious effort in one small space or drawer could solve several problems
and leave you feeling more organized and less overwhelmed.

Choose one spot.
Sort, prioritize and organize what's living there.
See what a small time investment can make.
Invest in the life you really want to be living.

Easy

Eliminate steps and make life  (and chores) easier.

Pay bills on line.
Stash your work out clothes in your car.
Set up a donation bag right by the dryer.
Keep your vitamins next to your morning coffee cup.
Have the shedder and recycle  where you sort your mail.
Store bathroom cleaning supplies under the bathroom sink.
Use the notes feature on your smart phone to record your grocery list.

Store items where you use them.
Make it easy to complete tasks.
Eliminate unnecessary steps and complications.
Set yourself up to be successful.

Less time spent on the mechanics of daily living
frees up more time to spend doing what you really like
with the people you love.

Spend a little

Spending a little time now, means spending less time later.

Use the Two Minute Rule: 
If you can do something in two minutes or less,
do it now.
Deal with the mail every day:
Recycle the unnecessary, shred, date and add items
to your Action folder.
Take ten before bed:
Spend ten minutes each evening tidying up,
start the dishwasher, load the dyer.

By taking a little time on a regular basis to deal with the every day tasks of life,
things are less overwhelming.
You have fewer piles,
messes don't get out of control, and
you won't have to dig out from under a mountain of
clutter just to find your keys.

Creating just one or two new habits,
having a few daily routines, and
making it easy to handle the mechanics of daily living
frees up your time and your mind.

Spending a little time every day buys you more space 
for the life you really want to be living........
