Tips to organize your home and eliminate clutter (StatePoint) The prospect of organizing your home can be an intimidating one.

Who doesn’t get disheartened in the face of overflowing closets, jumbled filing “systems” and messy garages?

Stack frequently needed items toward the bottom and middle shelves, and the rest on the upper shelves. Don’t be afraid to stack high. After all, a garage is where you store your ladder!

But cleaning up that mess is a great way to save your family time and money. The National Association of Professional Organizers estimates that we spend one year of our lives looking for lost items.

And a Harris Interactive poll reports that 23 percent of adults say they pay bills late because they lose them, incurring fees.

Go Paperless!

“Generally, people dislike household organizational tasks such as record keeping and filing because they are both inconvenient and timeconsuming,” says Joanne Lang, CEO of AboutOne.com, a secure online family management system. “But with technology, it can be quick and easy, and perhaps even fun.”

Here are some tips to help you get a handle on all those little details:

Advances in digital technology are making it easier to store and manage information in a centralized location that is accessible from any computer or webenabled device. For example, AboutOne has developed a platform that stores vital household and family documents, like children’s health information, photos and other records, in one secure space.

“As a mother of four, I had several personal experiences in which I needed immediate access to our critical household information while at home or from on the road,” says Lang. “I decided to develop AboutOne to make it easier for busy moms like me to manage family life.”

Find out how you can make digging through reams of paper a thing of the past at www.aboutone.com.

Clean The Closet Before lamenting your lack of closet space, take stock of every garment you own. Have you worn this shirt in the last year?

Does it fit? If not, then donate it or throw it out.

Make Room For That Car If there’s no room in your garage for your car, it’s time to do a massive overhaul.

Install adjustable shelving and hanging tool racks. This will get toys and supplies off the ground. Use stackable, clear plastic containers with lids so your items are safe from garage dust, and rust, and easy to locate.

Consolidate the remaining items with cascading hangers, belt and tie organizers, and storage bags for out of season gear. Don’t forget that you can stow some items under the bed, on wall racks, or in your newly organized garage.

Take charge and get organized.

It’ll bring you peace of mind, and perhaps save you some time and money as well.

Is your home vulnerable to burglary?

(StatePoint) Is your home safe from burglars and thieves? Or are you courting them with obvious security lapses and poor planning when you’re away?

More than 2 million homes were burglarized in the United States last year alone. Moreover, more than 60 percent of all residential burglaries took place during the day, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The average burglary results in a loss of more than $2000 of property, not to mention the loss of peace of mind and security when you’re home.

But a few simple precautions can keep your home safe while you’re away: • Lock your doors and windows. Burglars usually don’t have the fancy tools seen on television -- pliers, screwdrivers and crowbars typically do the trick. Having strong locks on front doors, and keeping groundlevel windows locked when you’re not home, are two easy ways to deter the average burglar.

• Make sure your home is well lit.

Better yet, use motion-sensing lights that come on when movement is detected. They’ll keep you from having to fumble your way to a dark door. Lights, indoors and out, should also be on a timer when you’re away.

• Install wireless security cameras.

Motion-sensing cameras with an Internet connection allow you to

monitor your home while you’re away via any internet browser. For example, Panasonic’s BL-C210 wireless IP network cameras send an alert to your phone or computer with a photograph when body heat, audio, or motion is detected. It also allows users to view real-time video from anywhere in the world using a personalized secure web address provided for free. For more information visit panasonic.com/netcam.

• Evaluate your home’s surroundings. Don’t inadvertently make it easy for burglars to hide. Keep landscaping neatly trimmed to eliminate hiding places around the house. And careless placement of tools in the backyard, such as ladder, can be used by the burglar to break-in. So be sure to always store tools properly and in secure locations.

• Keep up appearances.

Make sure to stop all newspaper deliveries and have the post office hold your mail when you are away.

Also, keep your grass watered and cut, along with other landscaping if you are gone for an extended period.

These simple tips and precautions should allow you to rest easier while away -- and keep your home safe as well.

Resolve to be more organized in the New Year (StatePoint) If you’re feeling stressed out by life’s daily dose of details, it’s time to get organized.

Whether it’s your schedule, your house, or your photos in a jumble, there’s no time like the New Year to resolve to organize your life.

And there are many new, technological tools out there to help.

Organize Your Schedule When it comes to your schedule, are you still stuck on sticky notes? It’s time to go digital so you can access your information when and where you need it. A mobile and online calendar and organizer can help you stay on top of your schedule by consolidating your family members’ calendars and lists all in one place.

Consider a service that is available as an app on your mobile phone or tablet (as well as online) and synchronizes with your Outlook calendar. For example, Cozi (www.cozi.com), an online and mobile calendar and organizer for families, sends users email and text reminders about upcoming events and tasks, and helps manage meal planning and

shopping lists.

With reminders coming directly to your phone about what to pick up for dinner or what time the school play begins, you won’t miss a beat.

Such services help budget-conscious shoppers with competitive pricing, free delivery, instant coupons and simple management of household goods. Alice.com, for example, even has a free iPhone app as well, so you can stay organized on the go.

Simplify Errands

Organize Your Memories

If after a full season of holiday activities you could use an extra hand getting your home, pantry and family back in order, consider using services like Alice.com, an online marketplace for household essentials.

If you love your camera or smartphone, you probably already have a ton of photos and videos that need to be organized. You don’t have to do the hard work if you choose a hosting site to protect, backup and share your photos. Be sure to pick one that has unlimited upload capability and privacy customization options.

It’s all about simplifying errands and restocking your shelves with the essentials you need, saving you time, money and trips to the store.

“For the primary shopper of the family, getting stocked up doesn’t have to mean running from store to store,” says Mark McGuire, President and Co-Founder of Alice.com.

“There are faster, more cost-efficient ways to shop for everyday items, and with one less errand to run, shoppers will have more free time to enjoy for themselves or with their families.”

Whether you’re sharing photos with Grandma, or running a business, a site like SmugMug (www.smugmug.com) lets you set the look of your site or gallery.

There’s no need to feel harried by the myriad details of managing your household.

With a little work and the right tools, you can stay on top of your tasks in the new year.
