Stay Organized With A To-Go Tote

I found this idea as part of my quest for organizing, posted by Calm & Collected Organizing.

“Get things done on the go with a special tote bag dedicated to running errands and staying organized. Attach a hook to the wall near the door that you leave the house from each day. This is where you’ll hang your To-Go Tote each time you come into the house or once you’ve finished using it.

As you go through your day or evening at home and you come across items that you’ll need when running errands later, place them in your To-Go Tote, and you won’t forget them the next time you leave the house. Just be sure to grab the tote each time you head out!

Extra Tip: Keep blank notecards and envelopes in your To-Go Tote. The next time you’re out and waiting for an appointment or to pick up the kids, you can write that thank you note you’ve been meaning to get to!!!”

The local school district is sponsoring a school fundraiser at the local mall. 24 area schools are participating in the event to raise money for their school by decorating tote bags. Our preschool class used their fingerprints to create beautiful butterflies, bees, ladybugs, frogs and flowers. All of the totes will be displayed and then available for auction. I am hoping to snag one to use as my To-Go Tote.
