Start a "freebie" office supply drawer in your kitchen. Place empty, clean takeout containers in the drawer and designate each one for a specific office supply. When you buy fresh flowers, save the rubber bands; save paper clips from the mail; keep twist-ties from your produce bags and anything else you might use. Anytime you need something, you'll have a stash of supplies ready to go.

This morning, carefully review your yard for any rabbit nests. When you find a nest with baby rabbits, mark the area with a bamboo pole and do not mow the lawn on or around the nest. You and the baby rabbits' mother will be grateful you did.

Stop wearing shoes inside your house. It's estimated that up to 80 percent of all household dirt is brought inside by shoes and clothes. You can cut down on allergy-causing dirt by doing what many Asian households do: leave your shoes at the door. When guests come over, offer them a cozy pair of socks to make the ritual less demanding and more inviting.
