Label one for each day of the month. Hang them in your hoHome organization tactics include sorting items now, or ongoing, to save you time later on tedious chores and mundane tasks. Here are three items you can sort in your home as you lay them down or put them away along with the home organizational details of how to do so.

SORT LAUNDRY - Speed up your laundry chores by pre-sorting your dirty clothes. Use a three-compartment laundry sorter for this method (although you could substitute laundry baskets or bins too). These laundry sorters are usually comprised of a lightweight metal frame that holds a three-compartment mesh or canvas laundry bag. Many online and walk-in retail stores sell them. Designate a compartment for 1) whites, 2) gentle wash and 3) regular color fabric washes.

When you put clothes into the laundry sorter or hamper, immediately put them into one of those three designated compartments. If you gently compress the dirty laundry in each compartment, then when full it averages about a single full washing machine load. So you can easily see when it's time to drop a laundry load into your washing machine. And it takes just seconds since you've pre-sorted the laundry ongoing. You can use a separate laundry hamper to hold dirty towels and linens.

SORT COINS - If you're tired of finding loose coins in the washing machine and you're tired of sucking them up accidentally with the vacuum, give family members their own own piggy bank. But not just any piggy bank. You need to give everyone the grown up version of the piggy bank which is called a "Coin Sorting Machine". It's a miniature version of what you see in some banks where you drop coins into the hopper and the machine sorts it all out.

The at-home version is the "coin sorting machine" gadget. One version seen in stores is a coin sorter that allows you to dump up to 20 coins at a time into the hopper, push a button and it sorts and counts them into wrappers that you place inside the tubes. You're ready to take them to the bank now---the real bank.

SORT MAIL - In the old days, professional organizers suggested sorting your mail over a trash can. In today's world, you'd be more secure making that "sort your mail over a trash can that's beneath your cross-cut shredder." That'll prevent strangers up to no good from searching through your trash to find credit card applications pre-filled with your name and mail order catalog pre-approved credit order forms (especially around the holidays when you get more of these).

When you find an invoice or bill, put it in a "daily organizer". A daily organizer is a small rectangular box style gadget stores sell. It has 31 slots to hold your bills, appointment slips, timely notes, greeting cards to mail---whatever you need to do or know on that day of the month.
