2012 Second Quick Tip Week: Filing Driving Directions

June 24, 2012 by Tracy

Needing to concentrate on some cleaning projects at home and scheduling our school’s fall festival, I present the second Quick Tip Week.

Each day this week, I will post an article about that day’s category of the blogging schedule.

These tips save my sanity in addition to staying organizing while saving money, energy, and time. Enjoy your week!

Quick Tip #1: Filing Driving Directions

Without a GPS, I depend on printed driving directions when traveling to new places. These sheets of paper could end up in the trash after completing the trip, but I choose to keep the directions. In using time wisely when returning to a destination to which we have been before, I only need to reach into the file folder with all the printouts to find the directions.

Upon receiving directions by e-mail, I created a folder in my inbox titled “directions.” After printing a copy, I move the message to my “directions” folder. Should I misplace my printout, I can print again without wasting time searching for the address.

Keeping the driving directions in a file folder or a designated space saves on ink from reprinting (money), digging through piles of paperwork for the address (energy), and searching for the directions to print (time).

If you print driving directions, then consider making a home for those items which you can quickly access for your next visit. Happy organizing!

Question: Do you keep printouts of driving directions?
