[Home-on-the-range] home management tips

[Serenqa Nickell]

I used to use safety pins to identify the colors of clothing.  I'd put them
in the tags of pants, shirts, etc in different ways to identify the colors.
Sometimes I'd use more than one for a certain color.

- just thought of another helpful tip. I'm getting ready to work out and
have a  lot of shoes- as many of you might. Those that tie can be easily
found as a pair by always tying one of the laces on each of the shoes of
that pair together...figured this out the old fashioned, embarrassing way-

marking rule or one similar mentioned by Diane. If it is hard to keep track
of where you are placing things, and to keep them in order, make a recorded
list of locations and the things kept in them until you know for sure you
remember them well.

>> Hi everyone - just listened to July 10th Matilda Z. (New Line) where a
woman is requesting tips on how to manage  by herself while her sighted
husband  is in a medical  rehab facility...she  is looking for ideas - would
some of you like to pull some useful ideas together to provide some
practical tips that she can use almost immediately? I am thinking she does
not have any of the tech items that might relay info or even, perhaps ideas
on how to easily identify items in her cupboards, pantry , refrigerator,
freezer, etc. Not sure of her many challenges as she leaves this wide open.
Perhaps, we could give her our top 10 or more ideas that allow us to do our
everyday home management  tasks. I'll start:
>> 1. Try to keep everything organized and in  its special place. This means
you must put things back as soon as you have finished using them. If you
tend to leave things out around the house and then can't find them, your
life can be an endless frustration.

>> the other by simply remembering that the rubber band is always on the

>> periodically, take out items that you don't use frequently - clutter
