We like getting organized for moving with our friends at Eco-Box

They carry moving and shipping supplies of all kinds, at very good prices. They also buy back your used moving boxes, and will even pick them up for free if you have a sufficient quantity! They have 3 locations in the Austin area.

Create your own computer shortcuts with ActiveWords software

We LOVE this software and cannot imagine living without it on our computers. Imagine any common task you do shortened to just a one-word, typed shortcut that is easy to remember. Open a folder, navigate to a website, open a specific document, type your address, or even plug in long paragraphs of frequently-used text. Make sure to go through the tutorials when you try the software so you'll fully understand the benefits.

Do you have stacks of business cards rubber-banded in your desk drawer?

CardScan is the answer! This device saves tremendous time and hassle with managing contact information. It's a scanner that is made specifically for business cards, and its accuracy is quite surprising! With just a couple of clicks you can send the scanned contact information directly to Outlook or other contact management software, and you even have a jpg file of the image of the card itself for future reference.

Parental control for TV, video game, or computer time

Tired of being the "video game police" in your house? The Time Scout is a device that sets limits for children on computer, TV, or video game use. This is a common time management issue for families that causes many arguments. Each child has a card that is swiped through the device to turn the television, video game console, or computer monitor on. It starts counting down the time remaining that has been allotted for that card, and gives an audible warning for the last few minutes so the child's work or game can be saved. Click here to learn more about Time Scout, and be sure to enter the coupon code "livingorder" to receive $5.00 off your order!

Organize.com Products

We recommend many things that are available at this site, such as the Fol-D-Rack garment rack, chrome shelf dividers, and loads of other products. If you don't have an organizing products store in your city, this is the next best thing. Formerly known as Organize-Everything.com, they now are doing business as Organize.com.

Get lost items returned

Occasionally, disorganization and stress can cause you to lose things! We've been giving these labels as gifts to everyone we know. You attach the Stuffbak labels to your cell phone, cameras, MP3 players, luggage, and other important items so that if they are lost, they will be easily returned. They offer a reward to the finder, and you can offer additional cash if you choose. They have a 75% return rate! Make it easy for an honest person to do the right thing. Get a 10% discount when you use the coupon code "livingorder."

Work hands-free

One of our frequent recommendations is to purchase a headset to boost productivity. You can speak on the phone hands-free, reducing neck and shoulder strain and enabling you to type, sort papers, or write while you talk. If you buy a cordless version, you can even walk around your office or home and accomplish tasks in a wider range. Hello Direct seems to have the best selection.

Get your bikes out of the way

Like many of us, you are probably tripping over your bike and moving it around in your garage. We love this bike hoist, which allows it to remain easily accessible but up and out of the way. The rigging is made with a special catch to stop it if you let go suddenly. Amazon has a great price on these.

Good deal on office supplies

We are constantly purchasing file folders, Brother P-Touch PT-65 label makers, Avery 11136 Worksaver Tab Inserts, paper trays, and countless other office supplies for our clients from Office Depot.
