Home Office Organization: Make Sure Your Home is a Healthy One

Reprinted without comment.  Source: www.delawarehealthyhomes.org  (Dec., 2010).  This article will conclude the company's mentorship month theme: "home office space and organization." I want to review some possible dangers when working from home (or small space areas), or to people who spend most of their time indoors or at home. Throughout the year, I will post additional articles of topic-focus available to your unique household and/or family business. Cleaning products - If a cleaning product is hazardous, it will say so on the label. Be aware of the words Toxic, Flammable or Combustible, Corrosive or Strong Sensitizer, Danger, Poison, Warning, or Caution . Suggestion : Make your own cleaning products. For example, mayonnaise can lift crayon marks from furniture. Make furniture polish from 3 parts olive oil and 1 part white vinegar. Cornstarch can keep carpets clean and remove grease stains.

Home Office Organization: Filing Appeal for Denied Health Care Costs

Source: Zamosky, May, 2013. Reprinted with no further comments.  Have you created a home office space in your unique household? Just find a consistent place to store office supplies (pens, stapler, staples, scissors, postage stamps, writing paper, files that you can store in a cardboard box or filing cabinet), and important papers. Know the Process - Insurers are required to provide information about the appeals process, so read any extra papers included in the letter of denial that you received.  Keep all papers mailed to you.  If you don't have such a document, search for the information on your insurer's website or call the company to request the form be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to you.

Unused Holiday Gifts

Before you sell items to an out-of-town thrift store (smiles), What to do with them? Recycle holiday cards by saving the decorative side. Then, when ready to use, attach card stock paper on the other side. Recycle Christmas trees. Use artificial Christmas trees for other holidays, too. Donate holiday decor to local classrooms in your community. Can it be used for your hobbies? Save items for a family-reunion yard sale. Review non-profit wish list at stores or view their current newsletter. Save for a large, family-bonding party event. Surprise bags for guests who come to visit your unique household or family business. Donate new and gently used books, video games, DVDs, cookbooks to your community library. Ask a teen if they can use item instead of simply giving the item to them. Fine jewelry can be made into other items at an additional expense.

Place this list in your home office area, and review when being challenged with your current finances or productivity goals: Note: This guide was created by Sherlene Stevens, Jan. 2014, your aspiring 2016 president.
