Written by Barbara Myers

2. Organize your kitchen. Establish a system for planning meals and grocery shopping. Set up a system for your recipes. Keep a supply of frozen vegetables, meats and breads for quick meals.

3. De-clutter your home. Get rid of everything you don't use or love. Don't keep things for "someday." Give important items a designated place so you can find them when you need them.
