You can read Alicia and Sarah’s tips in the January issue of Better Homes & Gardens Magazine along with 22 other tips from our friends in the blogging and organizing world!

Here are the Buttoned Up tips:

#13: make clutter-busting a family game. Write tasks on Ping-Pong balls. Each person chooses a ball, completes the task, then chooses another one. After 30 minutes, whoever has the most balls gets a prize – like a no-chores day or control of the TV remote.

#14: Make two coffee dates with a good friend. On the first one, go through her kitchen cabinets to identify and get rid of clutter (lidless plastic containers, mismatched glasses, petrified spatulas, etc.). On the second date, do the same in your kitchen.

#23: Designate a separate, labeled bag for each regularly scheduled activity, lesson, or sport on your family calendar. Pack the bags with the necessary gear, and hang them on hooks in a handy spot.
