Get organized! It just takes minutes

Many of us can barely keep up with each day’s activities, let alone find time to take on a big organizational project or complete the tasks on our never-ending to-do lists.

Is the time-honored, much-scribbled-upon kitchen wall calendar an endangered species? Are datebooks as dated as land lines?

Many baby boomers still rely primarily on paper for both professional and personal task managing, but you'd have to scour an office park for a while to find someone under age 35 who carries a paper planner everywhere -- if they ever did. For them, keeping track of events and tasks is mostly digital.

Put a stop to clutter creep

It happens so slowly you don't notice until it's too late. It can take over your kitchen.
