Simple Effects Blog: Organize Your Personal Life

Here are some steps to restore balance to your bathroom medicine cabinet:

Set aside about  1/2 hour to an1 hour for this task.

1. Remove all medications/ointments that have expired or which you no longer need. Organize remaining products as you’d find them categorized in the drug store ie pain medications,  cough/cold remedies, first aid, prescription medications etc.    Make note of any products you need to replenish.

2. Keep only the hair products that you currently use on a regular basis   In addition to shampoo, conditioner, gels and sprays, this includes all hair accessories, combs and brushes and hairstyling appliances (we’ve all been lured into buying new and different products with each new hairstyle. Let the past go and keep only those that support your current hair style).

3. Toss any make-up products or other grooming products that you do not currently use. Try to simplify your make-up routine so that it takes just a few minutes a day. If you purchase a “new” product, toss the old one.

4.  If multiple people use this cabinet, label the location of items so everyone knows where to find/put them away again.

Taking a few minutes now to put your cabinet in order will save you valuable time later.
