Nice to see you this morning!

crystalscookingnow said:I thought I loved my Blackberry. Until the other day when I realized to actually use the features that I wanted to use just once in a while (I don't need to check e-mail or the internet on my phone since I'm home all day) I had to have a $30 per month blackberry package on top of my cell service. I was so ticked. Dropped that phone like a hot potato.
PChefPEI said:Yep, that's been a struggle for me too. One day I put them all in a binder, the next, I decide to put them in a recipe box! Ah, the dilema (sp?)!!
For the PC recipes that come with the products, I have them all in a file box. I usually rip off the care instructions and put them in a seperate box, alphabetized by product name.
The rest of my recipes are between books, binders and I have a recipe box for recipes I use more often.
One tip I learned is, when I cut a recipe out of a magazine or something, I put today's date on it. When I'm cleaning up my recipe collection, if I haven't tried the recipe in say 6 months or a year, I throw it out, 'cause chances are I'll never make it!
ChefBeckyD said:I used to do this....but after a while, that too got to be overwhelming - so many products!
Now, after reading them, I just toss them - all of the info is on the website.
PChefPEI said:Good point Becky! Could be one other little thing for me to "declutter"!
PChefPEI said:I'm a little jealous about the iPhone. Just got it here in Canada, but it's pretty expensive and the plan offered by Rogers is not great at all. So, no iPhone for me....for now. Been looking at the blackberry pearl though, but would cost too much to buy, 'cause I'm not getting a great deal from my service provider if I do the switch over. I guess one of these days, I'll just bite the bullet!!
missmindym said:I hate online/electronic calendars of any kind. I can never keep them updated. I would much rather write it on my calendar where I can look at it anytime I'm at my desk/ in my kitchen (since my desk is in my kitchen). I write appointments down as I make them, etc. The only thing different is that I put all my bookings into P3 automatically, then I write them on the calendar when I get home.
I can do electronic anything else, just not my calendar, even though everyone tells me it really is the way to go. I just forget so many things if I can't see them on a constant basis.
jrstephens said:What about the Samsung BlackJack. Do yall have it? It is very similar to the Blackberry and was much cheaper for me.
I LOVE it! I do not pay for the internet and email stuff b/c I do not need that but that still does not keep me from loving and using the phone daily.
PChefPEI said:I did hear of the BlackJack, but never looked into it. Will have to do that....thanks!
Just had a thought....wouldn't it be cool if I could do PP on iPod Touch or whatever??
Winnipegk said:Jilleysue, do you take a laptop to shows? I'm assuming you don't keep any show paperwork of any kind, correct? I'm considering keeping show paperwork only until the show is received and orders delivered - then shred 'em.
If you can give any tips on how to organize your computer files, that would be great....maybe screenshots of your folders????? Is that too much to ask? :angel:
Jilleysue said:Really? I actually use to feel the same way, but microsoft outlook is the easier and most user friendly. I have everything on there now. I love it.:thumbup:
Yes, I would be interested to have your filing list.PChefPEI said:Get your paperwork organized with a good filing system. If you like, I can post my filing list that I use. I have my PC stuff in orange folders and they are in one drawer of my filing cabinet and all my other stuff is in boring brown folders and in another drawer of my filing cabinet.
I have found that organizing my paperwork was the most challenging. There is still more that I have to do, but at least it is down to just a small pile! It's nice to be able to go to a folder and find exactly what I need in a few short seconds!

My best organization tip for a small kitchen is to utilize vertical space. Install shelves or hooks on the walls to store pots, pans, and utensils. You can also use a hanging rack for storing pots and pans to free up cabinet and counter space.
One of the best organization tips for a pantry is to use clear containers or bins to store items. This not only keeps everything visible and easy to find, but it also helps to maximize space. Label the containers for even more organization.
My go-to tip for organizing a cluttered closet is to declutter first. Take everything out and sort through what you no longer need or use. Then, invest in some storage solutions such as hanging organizers, bins, and shelves to keep everything in its place.
One of the best organization tips for a desk at work is to designate a place for everything. Use desk organizers or trays to keep papers, pens, and other supplies in order. Also, make it a habit to declutter and tidy up your desk at the end of each day.
My best tip for organizing a busy schedule is to use a planner or calendar to keep track of appointments, tasks, and deadlines. Make sure to prioritize and schedule in time for breaks and self-care. Also, try to plan and prepare for the week ahead on Sundays to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
