The following are easy suggestions to get your summer kicked off right and help you live a simpler, less cluttered life.

If you have a family create a family calendar to keep everyone on track. Organizing your meals can save hours a week.

Are you like 75% of Americans and park your car outside the garage? It's time to get in your garage and go through all those half empty bottles and unused projects you were planning on using. We're bad about getting rid of our unwanted and unused items before purchasing new things. After that is finished organize your cabinets and drawers. Do you spend minutes sifting through a drawer full of kitchen gadgets to find your can opener? Why? Get rid of all those things you haven't used in a year. Plus you'll be healthier because you'll probably throw out lots of expired food which could make you ill.

This step can tie up those loose financial ends. What are you're last wishes? Put it in writing to avoid any questions.
Automating your finances can clear up several hours a week. In todays internet age, almost everything can be paid online or put on auto pay saving you from having to check those website every month.
