FREE Organizational Tip for Note Takers

Here’s a quick tip for those of you who like to stay organized along with saving money…

If you’re like me and like visual reminders for tasks to be done later, perhaps you enjoy taking notes.

I like to use sticky note pads (aka: post-it note pads)…

They are a great resource so I don’t have to write on any documentation itself. In addition, I can discard the note pad reminders after the action has been executed without compromising the document.

For me, I get the 3″ x 3″ post-it note pads…

I don’t care what color they are. As long as I get to see the note I wrote when I did and list a few quick reminders like “call x company/person”, “ask for a receipt to be emailed to me”, “staple receipt to this”, “file in “x” file folder”, etc., it will prevent me from re-reading the same documents again at a later time.

This helps me get to the point of reading my own notes and cut through the minutia of wasting time and regathering my original thoughts.

This may not seem like much of a tip for all of you who are super organized but…

Sometimes documents have so many words on it…

If you don’t write your notes in a different color or use a colored highlighter to pinpoint what you are looking for later on.

This will help you avoid reading the original document again.

Of course that can be frustrating. It can also be a huge time waster.

This money saving tip will help you save money

If you write small, separate a few of the 3″ x 3″ post-it note pads from the pad itself.

Then take a pair of scissors and cut them in half (north to south). You’ll gain an additional usage — twice as much notes you can take.

It won’t save you a million dollars…but then again, you are not spending a million dollars!

Hope this tip helps because quite frankly, if you spend $5 or more on a bunch of post-it note pad sheets (especially in bulk), while you think you might be saving money THIS TIP WILL HELP YOU DOUBLE YOUR SAVINGS…as long as you write small like me.

Share this with your family, friends and co-workers who are super organized and always looking for an additional way to save money.
