Home Office

Toss flyers, shred credit card offers and stack magazines.

As bills arrive, log them into a chart with columns for amount due, due date and when it's been paid.  You'll know what's due at a glance, plus have a reference of tax-deductible expenses.

Laundry Room

Use laundry Baskets instead of hampers. Why shift clothes from hamper to basket, then back to basket after they are washed?

Fold or hang laundry as it comes out of the dryer to prevent wrinkling and reducing ironing.

Dust from top down.  The dust falls on the floor so you can vacuum it up later
