ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Organize those errands

Advertiser Staff

If keeping track of those seemingly endless errands is becoming a chore in itself, consider this project for an errands notebook from hgtv.com and organization expert Louise Kurzeka:

Print "errands" on the front of a spiral notebook in bold letters. Establish a section for items "to buy" (such as a pillow, coffee), "to fix" (stereo to electronics shop), and "to do" (stop at library, pick up dry cleaning). Transfer the day's events onto a separate calendar or list, or take the book along. Encourage other family members to add errands into the book.
