Better home organization can save you money (StatePoint)Did you know that a disorganized household can cost your family money?

From failing to make necessary repairs before it’s too late, to mismanaging the household budget, there can be a high price to disorganization. Don’t accrue unnecessary expenses that could be avoided by simply streamlining your household.

“The key to running a happy home is having a system to keep everything neat and orderly,” says Elizabeth Dodson, Cofounder of HomeZada, a revolutionary home organization online software application.

There’s no better time than spring to do some house cleaning and get your home life in order. Here are some tips to get you started: Maintain Each year, 15,600 dryer fires occur, resulting in property damage exceeding $75 million. And the leading cause is lack of maintenance. Preserve the overall value of your largest asset, your home, with regular maintenance of your house and appliances.

An online program can secure documentation and help you keep details straight, such as when you last tested your smoke detectors or replaced your air filters.

Track In this digital day and age, make paper tracking of your families’ schedule and to-do lists a thing of the past. By going digital, it will be harder to make costly mistakes like missed appointments, and overdue bills.

Online organizational tools are replacing the chore wheel, the calendar and the message board, consolidating all this information in one place. Opt for a safe and secure service that sends alerts and reminders to users about what tasks needs to get done. For example, HomeZada makes it easy for a family to create a plan, assign chores, and get on the same page.

Plan Ahead Nobody likes to think about challenges like burglaries, fires, and floods. But these things can and do happen, so it’s best to be prepared for anything. Unfortunately, most people have incomplete records about their home and possessions, and

often, this information is scattered in multiple boxes, filing cabinets, drawers and spreadsheets.

An online tracking tool can help you maximize your insurance benefits in the event of emergency, by storing the important details of your possessions in one place. Look for a service that even will let you track upcoming warranty expiration dates, sending you reminders to your phone or email. More tips on what to look for in an online home management tool can be found at www.homezada.com .

When it comes to running an organized household, there are a lot of moving parts. But by getting them together today, you can save your family money and headaches tomorrow.

28 VOL. 23, NO. 10 MARCH 15, 2012 REAL ESTATE WEEKLY™

Modernize your home & simplify your life (StatePoint) Do you ever leave the house feeling like you forgot something? Life is full of little details, and if you are running an entire household, you may find it overwhelming to keep everything in order.

Luckily, modern technologies that can help you organize those details are becoming more affordable.

“When it comes to managing your home, it’s all about modernization and simplicity,” says Jamie Elgie, Senior Director of Product Management at Belkin, a maker of connectivity devices and accessories.

“Where it’s possible, let new technologies do some of the thinking and heavy lifting for you.”

Here are some easy tips to update your home for a more simplified life: Go Paperless If your paperwork is a mess, consider transferring your documents to an electronic filing system.

Not only will the system be implicitly organized for you, you will also be eliminating those stacks of paper that threaten to clutter every room of the house.

Organizing your financial statements, bills, and health care documents will help you remember appointments, payments, and other deadlines.

Automate Electronics These days you can run your home’s electronic devices from the comfort of just about anywhere. New home automation technology is becoming increasingly accessible and affordable to consumers.

Opt for a system that can be controlled from your smartphone, such as Belkin’s WeMo home automation products, so you can schedule your lights, gadgets, heating, air conditioning and other devices to turn on and off at times that meet your family’s needs.

Gone will be the days you fret over whether you left the iron on for the day.

Now you can ensure everything is switched off the moment a worry strikes.

Such technologies also have motion sensor abilities too, which make turning lights and stereos on and off as easy as entering or exiting a room.

Modernize Appliances Take an inventory of your home’s appliances and eliminate the avoidable headache caused by out-of-date appliances no longer performing optimally.

If you’ve ever taken your dishes out of the dishwasher only to discover you still needed to wash certain items by hand, it’s time to invest in a new one that will get it right the first time.

You may also be doing certain tasks more slowly than necessary. Induction stovetops, electric pressure cookers and hand blenders are all examples of modern kitchen tools designed to save you time on cooking, so you have more time to eat.

It’s easy to bring order to your home with modern technology. The future is now.
