The nest effect: October Project: Conquer Paper Clutter. Last Monday I introduced my project for this month: paper & digital clutter.
I spent last week looking for ways to conquer paper and digital clutter so that I could start spending my time more productively in other ways.

If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you may remember seeing this area. It's the post titled Homework Bulletin Boards.

Moving the Medicine Cabinet. Really, it was quite funny! Jen from IHeart Organizing posted on storing medication the EXACT same day that I did. I LOVE Jen's blog - always have, always will!! :) Jen's post had some great advice from pharmacist, Mellissa C. Here's a little of the post... "...drugs need to be stored in an area where there is low humidity and stable temperature {room temp, never above 77 F}" and more that Mellissa writes, which totally stuck out at me... Now, I was doing something right, by storing the medicine in the kitchen! In the cabinets above my wall oven.
My new medicine cabinet is now in the cabinets above my Kitchen Command Center Desk. Here is my NEW medicine cabinet: This space works just great.
