Have you ever went to pick paint out for your living room, dinning room. kitchen etc.? Now that you have a handful of paint color scheme cards. What does one do with those paint color scheme cards? Well I 've got a little so called secret to share with you. You can use them for color coding or tabs for your dividers.

Color coding is not for everyone but if you are a color coder then this code be a very inexpensive way to color code. A lot of people use sickers, an index card with the color written out and what that color means which is time consuming and we all know that time is very percious. So this will not only free up your time but safe you money too.
Color Coding Tip (for health, payday, to do's, etc):
pick your colors
write your topic on a specific color (i.e. green = payday)
Punch hole in card so it is locked in the center rings of your filofax
Use a color pencil, pen or marker for your calendar / daily planner

Color coding isn't just for medical, gym, bills due, income, etc it can also be used for sections. I am the type of person that changes her mind about what should be in my filofax and have to change the divider because I changed my mind. Well I have a tip for you. Using those paint color scheme cards from the hardware store you can color code your sections as well.
Color Coding Tip (section):
pick your colors grab 2 cards of the same color
write your topic on a specific color use a pencil (i.e. red = medical / health)
Punch hole in card so it is locked in the center rings of your filofax
Cut that color off the 2nd card either glue it to your divider (write the name of the section in pencil) or purchase those tabs where you slip a small piece of paper in them (you remember the ones we needed for JR High and High school). If you are using the tabs just cut off the color you want and slip it into the tab.
Time saving and cheap!

Sick of wet items laying in a pile on the floor?

I for one can not stand wet items laying around the house or in a pile on the bathroom floor. As a mother of 4 (who are grown but still leave wet towels on the bathroom floor), a grandmother of 2 (2 yrs old and 8 months old) burb cloths, bibs, soiled clothing and wet wash cloths are always hanging over the tub. (well when I have them), and a wife of a spoiled husband that loves to leave wet clothing hanging on the kitchen chairs.

In the March 2015 issue (I do not subscribe to the magazine I get it from the public library) of This Old house a household solution was shared on how to get a handle on wet gear. Not only was it a great idea but it is an easy solution that is pocket friendly. This household solution uses vintage porcelain handles as hooks. The writer says that you can get these vintage handles on Ebay for as little as $5.00. When they are not being used to dry clothing and umbrellas it is a creative way to add a little extra decorative discussion piece.
