Yesterday I was cleaning out my old magazines and came across an article in Domino magazine. I’m not sure how I missed it the first time around, but I immediately bookmarked it for future use.
The title is, Stealing household tricks from the superrich. It might sound quite silly but there was one specific section that was a light bulb moment for me.
Take a look below at make a home bible…
Part 1: List all emergency numbers, plus those for workmen, pet-sitters, etc.
Part 2: Catalog every major household job, and which month to do it in.
Part 3: Create a list of food staples, organized by supplier, then make 10 copies to stick to the fridge….
That’s a great place to start and then you can tweak it accordingly. The other tips are pretty great as well, so don’t miss those!
I’ve put together binders before of magazine clippings and of big projects, both personal and for clients, but I really liked this concept for the home. How many times have you ran around looking for the plumber’s phone number? What about your last doctor’s checkup? About time, right? The more organized, the easier this crazy mess we call “life” gets.
I’m really excited to get started on this project. Minor in effort, big on impact!
Do you have a home “bible” you reference? What do you keep in there and what other ways do you stay organized. Would love to hear your tips!
