January is National Get Organized Month!

January is a great time to get organized in all aspects of your life. Cell Phone Sally is here to help you get organized at home, school and work! While the thought of getting organized can sometimes be overwhelming, once you tackle the task you will find yourself more relaxed as well as more prepared to conquer the new year. Here are some great things to focus on when organizing important items:

-       Organize important contacts and numbers: Make sure your family is well prepared by having all important contact numbers either memorized or saved in your phone. Kids should know when to call 9-1-1. They should also know their parent’s phone numbers as well as any other important numbers. For adults, it is a good idea to have doctor’s offices and emergency contact numbers readily available in your phone too.

-       Organize an emergency preparedness kit: Every home should have an emergency preparedness kit and all household members should know where it is located. This kit should have basic items for survival in case an emergency strikes. Some items to include would be: a flashlight with extra batteries, at least one gallon of water, a first aid kit, moist towelettes for sanitation, garbage bags, a manual can opener, a map, a whistle to signal for help, and a cell phone with a solar charger.

-       Tackle Clutter around the Home: Clutter has a tendency to add to stress. Start relieving this stress by getting rid of the clutter. Check out these great tips on how to de-clutter your home: http://www.bhg.com/decorating/storage/organization-basics/ways-to-reduce-clutter/#page=1
