Understand Credit Card Grace Period Due Dates
Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009
Getting control over your credit cards is one way to help begin frugal simple living. Credit cards are convenient and sometimes we have no choice but to use them. In some cases the only payment a merchant will accept is a credit card. Other times when we don’t have the cash available and we have to spend the credit card is the only way. So credit cards are part of life and we have to accept that.

Office Time Management
Disorganized Office Coworker
Getting along with coworkers is difficult enough at the best of times but a disorganized coworker can add extra frustrations. Here are some suggestions I found which should help you function alongside their messiness:
1. Keep copies of everything you give them.
2. Express clearly what you need of them and, if you don’t get it, have a conversation about what you need from him or her without accusing or making the other person wrong.

Germs on Surfaces
If you want to keep from getting sick one of the best ways is to wash your hands frequently. Also, keep the surfaces that you touch frequently clean and free from germs. Your telephone, cell phone and computer keyboard are surfaces you should clean every day if possible.

How to Organize a Junk Drawer
Organized Junk Drawer
Here is great article I found about coming to terms with your junk drawer. The solution is to re-purpose your junk drawer as this author called it “the handy drawer.”
I really like this idea as usually your junk drawer is in a prime place in your home. A prime place is a storage area you can easily reach. Secondary places are ones that take some getting to. In other words, a secondary storage place is a place you may have to get on a step stool to get to or get up from your desk and move to another part of the room to get to that space.

How to Unclutter Your Life
Minimalist Fashion Blog
I have posted many articles on getting organized and paring down. I came across an interesting article in our local paper which talked about the “100 Thing Challenge” and it kind of made me look at my own life and how many things I had. I want to recap some of the article here in this post mostly just to give food for thought. I don’t think I could do the “100 Thing Challenge” which entails getting your clothes, books, shoes etc. down to 100 things but it made me realize how far past I am the “100″ mark in terms of possessions. If that sounds vague read on to find out what was so thought provoking about the “100 things.”
