9 Easy Ways to Get Organized This Year



1 - Keep Track of Your Kids and Family!

With kids having so much on their schedules these days, it's hard to remember their ballet lessons, soccer games and whose house they're visiting after school. A magnetic whiteboard schedule simplifies matters for you, reminding you of their appointments – not to mention ensuring that your spouse doesn't surprise you with dinner out – TONIGHT!
  • Using a DYMO LetraTag printer, you can create magnetic labels which stick on magnetic surfaces with every family member's name on it
  • Line the names across the top of the whiteboard
  • Draw vertical lines down the board to separate the names, and horizontal lines to block out time by hour (e.g., 11 a.m., Noon, 1 p.m., etc.) or simply use a magnetic calendar board.
  • Have each family member write in his/her schedule for the day during breakfast or before he/she leaves the house
Bonus Tip: Print up a few magnetic labels of recurring locations such as “Soccer Practice”, “Jimmy's House”, or “Work @ Movie Theater”. You can re-use them on the whiteboard when your family members visit those locations.

2 - Easy Labels For Clothing!

Whether you're doing laundry or packing for vacation, sorting your family's clothing can take a long time. Applying name labels to shirts and pants makes this easier and faster. Luckily, long gone are the days when we had to hand-sew labels into our clothing just to keep track of them. Sure, there are cloth-marking pens, but many of them fade over time and after a few washings. Now you can print long-lasting clothing labels using LetraTag iron-on labels.

Once you've chosen what you want to print, type it into the label printer, and print it out on the label. All you need to do is peel the back and iron the label directly onto the cloth item. Forget having to sew the labels in to be sure they stay in place. These labels are also strong enough to stick even after machine washing!

4 - Avoid Toy Tantrums

Nothing is more fun than watching little kids play with their new holiday toys. What's not so much fun is watching kids fight over their new holiday toys. Inevitably, little Timmy says that little Susie's toy is his and vice versa. Holiday harmony can go down the tubes faster than Santa went back up the chimney!

Avoid toy tantrums by labeling each of your children's toys. And the silver metallic labels are great for labeling your kids' electronics.
