Comments on: Set your TiVos! http://unclutterer.com/2007/11/14/set-your-tivos/ Daily tips on how to organize your home and office.

Two of the most common problems I see when organizing for families are junk mail and laundry-overload (pun intended!) Glad to hear that you are giving the laundry bags a try. The family featured on the show told me that it is the single biggest time saving tip of all. Glad that was helpful for you too. Mary, I'm curious, do you know why you, "run late for everything?" Would you consider keeping a journal for two weeks and note why you are late? The reasons might be numerous: kids, traffic, overslept, etc. See if there are any patterns. Again, many thanks for your kind comments. Hi Mary,

Mary, I’m curious, do you know why you, “run late for everything?” Would you consider keeping a journal for two weeks and note why you are late? The reasons might be numerous: kids, traffic, overslept, etc. See if there are any patterns.

Again, many thanks for your kind comments.

We could relate to everything--the kids & activities, the laundry, the junk mail, voice mails. We liked your calendar tips and laundry-in-the-bag trick. We all went shopping the day after Christmas and bought mesh laundry bags and it does work! Good tips. Nice show.

A number of you sent friendly, supportive emails; I'd like to thank all who watched, posted or sent good thoughts my way. I appreciate the encouragement and kind comments. The families I worked with are awesome and a good time was had by all. Many Thanks!

This type of show is exactly what busy families need to make them aware of exactly how they are spending thier time and then give them a way to manage it more effedtively. It was a very good show and I am looking forward to more. I watched Geralin Thomas on “Time Makeover” Friday, December 1st and really enjoyed it.

I think it is a great concept for a TV show since everyone seems pushed for time these days. I think the idea of making ourselves aware of just where we are spending our time was especially helpful. I'd love to see a segment on Time Management as it relates to entertaining. I think so many of us want to entertain but just don't think we have the time. Great show and am looking forward to the next one. I watched “Time Makeover” last night with Geralin Thomas and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Most of the time my ideas and suggestions come from someone working their way through a problem. (Filing, opening junk mail, over committing, using the wrong calendar, etc.) We can brainstorm together! @ Kim,
