Quick Tip #5: Wendy’s Coupon Booklet

In addition to offering a great trick-or-treat prize, 90 cents of every dollar spent purchasing these booklets benefits the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

As you prepare for your Halloween celebration, enjoy a chilly treat benefiting a cool charity. Enjoy!

Quick Tip #2: Removing Ink Stains

As my 2-year-old waved around an uncapped ink pen, my shirt met the blue ink resulting in a stain. Thinking I would just soak the shirt, Paul suggested drawing out the ink using hairspray.

With the hairspray bottle in hand, I sprayed the soiled section, waited a few moments to activate, and then I pressed down paper towels on the spot. With each treatment, the stain became less visible until it disappeared after the fourth round.

Though I’m sure the OxiClean would have worked, I liked the immediate result of using hairspray when removing ink stains. Upon laundering, I found my shirt without ink or any residue from the hairspray. 🙂

In using time wisely, I spent less than 5 minutes removing ink stains from my shirt. If you find a stray ink mark on your clothing from a 2-year-old, test out the hairspray trick to save you money, energy, and time. Happy stain lifting!

Question: How do you remove ink stains?

Quick Tip Week is here! Enjoy a week of shorter posts highlighting one tip in each category this week. For series already in progress, I will continue with the next segment following our Quick Tip Week. Embrace this week, add your tips in the comments, and continue using time wisely!

Quick Tip #1: File Documents Consistently

When organizing any filing system, keeping the framework consistent saves you time and energy when retrieving your desired document.

When I place documents in my files, I prefer to place the most recent information at the beginning of the file. This way if I am looking for information about the initial opening an account, I would look in the back of the file for the oldest information.

Whether you use a notebook, accordion file, hanging files, or on-line, choose a framework that works for you and file documents consistently.

By knowing approximately where a document is located, you can find it quickly while using time wisely. Happy organizing consistently!

Question: How do you prefer to organize your document files?
