Here 4 You with Candace & Winona streams “live” every Sunday at 8:30 am. Their show focuses on practical advice for managing daily stress and personal health. Innovatively Organized’s professional organizer Alisa Hanft was interviewed on August 22 about various ways in which good organization is connected to well-being and helps lower stress.

You can listen to the entire  interview in MP3 format by clicking here, or can go to the Tacoma.fm Here 4 You with Candace & Winona page to listen to all past interviews, including Alisa’s.

One or two pieces of personal information is all it takes for identity theft to take place. Now more than ever, it’s important to effectively manage the disposal of confidential letters, financial papers, receipts, and electronic media - both at home and at the office. A local service that I recommend is Datasite. They offer residential and business shredding options and you can schedule a pick-up or drop it off at a Datasite facility.

Also, check out my recent post about what to look for when buying a shredder.

One of my favorite ways to store and tote my snacks and lunches is by using Fit & Fresh containers. Removable ice packs keep food chilled and the containers are sized and labeled so you know exactly how much you’re packing which is especially helpful for portion control. Fit & Fresh keeps your food items separate, but the separate pieces also fit together so it’s convenient to toss into your briefcase or purse. And it’s an environmentally friendly way to pack meals for work, school, gym, or even outdoor activities like hiking or a picnic. It’s definitely an innovatively organized product!

Internet users send an estimated 60 billion emails every day around the world.

With so many messages coming and going, how do you prioritize your inbox and choose which ones really deserve your attention? Gmail product director Keith Coleman very clearly says, “It used to be people wanted to separate spam from not-spam, but now, the not-spam is of varying degrees of importance.”

For Gmail users, there is a new tool for managing your email - Priority Inbox helps you get through it faster by putting the most important mail at the top of your inbox. These messages will be determined by factors such as identity of the sender, key phrases in the message and whether the mail was sent to an individual or a large group.

Oftentimes, back-to-school means that the refrigerator door and bulletin boards at home will soon be covered in artwork and class projects. But these are just temporary galleries - pieces should be stored to make room for new ones. Schoolfolio is the storage solution that organizes and protects art, schoolwork, report cards, class photos, and other keepsakes from pre-school to 12th grade. Contain clutter and encourage good organizing habits for the whole family!
