Products I Like - and Recommend

Here are some of my current favorites, along with why I like them and links that will let you to learn more about them if you are interested.

Planner Pad
It's a calendar, a planner, an appointment book, a list organizer – no, it’s the Planner Pad! It allows you to organize your time, your schedule, your life like no other tool of its kind.

Why I like it:
Finally! You can end the clutter of multiple lists of things to do! The Planner Pad’s unique format lets you organize all your business and personal activities in one place by category. It helps balance everything you do - in your career, home and personal life. Using the Planner Pad encourages me to improve in areas that are tough for me: goal planning and not over-loading my week.

Drawer Organizers
An absolute must for all the drawers (and other spaces) in your home and office.

Why I like it:
Regardless of their composition (plastic, metal, wood), drawer organizers provide an instant facelift to the interiors of your cabinet, desk or dresser drawers. Certainly no junk drawer should be without one! I love the warmth and feel of wood so I chose a bamboo ones for my home office. But a plain, no-frills white one will do the trick. Just make sure the one you select has enough compartments of suitable size to hold your items. Sometimes finding a place to store a large pair of scissors can be a problem.

P-Touch Electronic Label Maker by Brother
One of the "secrets" of successful organizing is to label things - or in my case, EVERYTHING! With this product you can make self-laminating adhesive labels for just about anything. And because it is small, portable and battery-operated, you can take it everywhere. There's no excuse for not putting a label on everything ever again!

Why I like it:
Because I can’t survive without my P-Touch! It is simple to use and provides me the fastest, most efficient way to create labels of all sizes for virtually any home, office, business, school or industrial application. The labels are resistant to water, spills, heat, cold and other harsh environments. The applications for P-Touch labels are virtually infinite. I've used other brands of labelers, and P-Touch my favorite.

P-Touch products are available at office-supply stores. Check out the models at the Brother website.

Game Savers
This product is pure genius! So simple but a fantastic solution to a pretty universal problem. Are your board games lasting longer than the box they came in? They often do! Put that duct tape away and get the practical answer to organizing and storing your favorite games!

Why I like it:
Besides keeping games together and organized – no more missing pieces - Game Savers help children develop valuable organization skills. Clean-up is easy for them, too! I love the consistent size and shape, along with the handy pre-printed labels, which makes storing your board games is a delight, not a struggle.

Battery Rack
This is another simple product that solves a pretty universal problem. Why not store all of your batteries - in all sizes - in one spot? With a battery rack, you can! It has the added benefit of being able to fit in most cabinet drawers or you can mount it to a workshop wall.

Why I like it:
Nothing clutters up a drawer more than loose batteries. And nothing is more frustrating that looking in 10 different places when you need to find a fresh set of batteries. As an added benefit, the rack comes with a built-in battery tester, so you are certain you are only storing good, fresh batteries and won't be surprised with the "new" ones don't work!

Space Savers is a nice online store that sells this battery rack at a good price.
