This year, we’re going to help you make those New Year’s resolutions stick…with labels! You might be surprised to learn that using labels not only helps you stay on top of home organizing, but it can also have a positive impact on many other aspects of daily life.
Here’s a look at some of the different ways you can use labels to stay on top of post-holiday home organization, budgeting, and even healthier eating!
Whether your holiday décor involves a single festive focal point or a multi-room holiday makeover, when it comes to storage, keeping your items organized and easily accessible means considerably less stress every year when you set up and tear down.
No matter how large or small your décor inventory might be, it’s a good idea to sort everything by colour. That means red ornaments, red candles, red tree skirts, etc. Pack items carefully in smaller boxes, egg cartons, or containers, then place these containers of same coloured things into clear bins. Apply high visibility labels to each bin with the contents clearly listed, and store with the labels facing outward.
To keep better track of spending, try creating labelled cash jars for different household and personal expenses. Fill each jar with the allotted budget for a designated time period (whether monthly or bimonthly), and give your credit and debit cards the month (or more) off.
You can also create an on-the-go budget binder to keep in your car. Make this helpful tool using a mini binder, business card pages for things like gas receipts, food, coffee, and other common expenses, and sheet protectors for shopping lists.
Do you have a plan to eat healthier in 2020? Using labels can help you stay on track both in the kitchen and on-the-go! Whether you’re counting calories, macros, or points as part of your goal, pre-portioning snacks into labelled containers or bags can be a big help. To make snack prep even easier, create several sheets of labels features different values. Then simply peel and stick to your snack containers and go!
