Are you a magazine hoarder?

Magazine hoarders you know who you are. Do you read your magazines and then set them to the side just in case you want to access some information at a later date? Even in today's electronic media world, I personally still get excited when I receive a new glossy magazine in the mail box. Here are some tips to help you access the information and still reduce your magazine clutter around the house or office.
  • As you are reading through the magazine tear or cut out the articles that you would like to reference or read at a future date.
  • Scan the articles. If you don't have a scanner you can outsource this to a scanning company or Ideal Lifestyle Concierge can scan and organize your documents for you.
  • Save the articles electronically by category. For example: Recipes, Fashion, Gifts, Technology, Finance, Parenting - you get the idea. I suggest that you save the date as part of the file name.
  • The most important part - Get rid of the magazines and the clutter!
