Organising the babies’ clothes is starting to be a minefield.

Especially since I’m not good with seeing what size things are. I always have to look on the label to see the size. Poor kids!

So I thought I’d show you quickly what I’ve been doing.

I have these storage boxes and I separated the clothes into the various sizes, slapped on a post-it note and voila, organised!

Untidy but organised

Sometimes I realise that my cell phone battery is running low so I plug it in to charge. Our charging station is in the kitchen.

I then forget to collect the phone before I leave because the rest of my stuff is on my launch pad, as in this picture.

Yes, that’s a new bag

So now I do this: I keep a clothes peg on my cell phone charger. When I plug in the phone, I remove the peg and pin it to my handbag.

Like this.

When I’m ready to leave and I see that peg, I remember that my phone is still charging and now, I don’t forget to collect it anymore!

How do you remember your cell phone?

I was cooking some rice, not really thinking about how I do this when it dawned on me – someone might actually benefit from this tip.

So here goes – when you’re measuring rice, or any ingredient really, measure it over the pot or dish so that if some of the food spills (as mostly happens, or is that just me?), you don’t have to waste time cleaning up.

So many tasks we do as a matter of routine can be seriously streamlined to save us loads of time.

But only if you prepare in advance.

My gym bag looks like this most of the time.

What’s in there?

• takkies (sneakers)
• socks and sports bra
• long and short pants
• t-shirt

When I get back home from the gym, I immediately re-stock it so that it’s ready to go again.

It takes me literally two minutes to do but saves me time on gym days because I don’t have to think, “oh, what do I need to put in there again?”

Do you prepare in advance like this for gym or other activities?
