Tip of the Day 4/19/11

Today's Paper control tip is dealing with magazines. As we read a magazine we always see things we think we might like to try, a recipe, a new way to apply eye shadow, a book recommendation, a web site. As you read turn down the corner of any pages that appear to be something you would like to try. When you finish the magazine go back and re-read those particular articles, if they still interest you tear out the page.  Keep a file folder of recipes you want to try, if you like it add the recipe to your collection, if not, toss the page.  Keep a file of tips you want to try, clean the file out every 6 months.  If you haven't tried the tip in that time, you probably won't.  If you are an avid reader keep a spreadsheet of books you want to read or purchase.  Add the recommendation to the list without tearing the page out of the magazine, one less piece of clutter.  If the magazine is still readable, donate to a Dr.'s office, etc. or recycle.  Don"t keep it around, you got your money's worth from it.
