Wunderlist<\/b><\/em><\/a> is an app that stores all types of to-do lists.\u00a0I love that\u00a0it allows you to share your lists and work collaboratively with friends and family (i.e. my husband and I share a grocery list, when\u00a0he buys an item and checks it off the list, I am notified). It has also been a great way to help us organize our kitchen renovation project. I love hearing the satisfying chime as I check off a task.<\/p>\n Google Calendars<\/strong><\/em> is a great way to stay organized. Because I enjoy hand writing everything\u00a0I used to keep a physical planner. However, I recently converted to Google Calendars and I will never look back. In addition to notifying you of upcoming events and estimating the drive time based on current traffic conditions, it also allows you to invite and send the event to others.<\/p>\n Cozi<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is an app\u00a0geared toward organization for the whole family, including chores, groceries, upcoming events, etc.\u00a0Its features allow multiple family members to manage appointments and schedules with one account, as well as organize and update shopping and to-do lists.<\/p>\n Create\u00a0a\u00a0Drop Zone<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether you enter your house through a mudroom, laundry room, back entry, foyer or straight into the kitchen, it’s imperative to have a “drop zone” to corral the clutter. A designated place for shoes, coats, backpacks, mail and keys will keep your belongings organized and looking good.<\/p>\n Control Paper Piles<\/strong><\/p>\n Establish\u00a0a system to\u00a0deal with mail and the piles of paper your kids will surely come home with on a daily basis! I really liked how Young House Love<\/a> handles their paperwork. They keep a basket in their office and put the papers from their child’s backpack into it daily. \u00a0Every two-weeks, or once it is full, they go through the papers and decide what to file, what to display on their bulletin board, and what to toss.<\/p>\n iHeart Organizing<\/a> is another great source for ANYTHING & EVERYTHING dealing with organization. To organize her children’s school work, she keeps a file box for each kid with folders for K-12. \u00a0She attaches their school pictures to the front of each folder and is very selective about what she saves.
