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.

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.

If you can't change all your lightbulbs to energy-efficient, compact fluorescent bulbs, change the ones where the type of light being used isn't an issue. Replace bulbs in awkward places like basement stairways, laundry rooms or a pantry. Change the overhead fixture in a rarely used room. The super-white, bright light is too harsh for some, but when it doesn't really matter, go fluorescent.
