Do you remember the games when your were a child? Red Light, Green Light? Ghost in the Graveyard? TV Tag? Well, get some of that childhood spirit back and "play" these organizing games.
1. Catch Up (1-4 Players) Time: 30-60 minutes
Decide on a room to play "Catch Up." Perhaps your closet needs to be purged. I
recently caught up on photos and put them into albums--nothing fancy. I'd love to
scrapbook, but it isn't going to happen--no time, no patience, and if it doesn't peel
open, it is too much effort for me. Not as cute, but I got the job done.
2. Keep Up (1-4 Players) Time: 10-15 minutes
What can you do daily to keep up with "things?" Can't remember what groceries to
buy? Keep a list on the refrigerator. Consult your family calendar the night before.
Make the coffee the night before, so you can push the on button in the morning.
Keep all mail in one location so you don't waste time, energy, or money searching
for your bills.
3. Get Ahead (1-4 Players) Time: 5-10 minutes
Decide what you would like to get ahead on. Find small solutions for on-going
problems. For me, it is my children's clothes. I have placed two clear containers
in their closets. One is marked, Donate, the other tub is, Store. When the seasons
change or they children grow out of clothes, I simply place the item in the corrrect
container. Voila! I am "Ahead of the Game!"
