If your family is like most, you could use a little help staying organized, especially when school starts. Look no further than an HP all-in-one (AIO) printer. Thanks to its printing, copying, and scanning capabilities, as well as a fax option on some models, an AIO can help you streamline everything from paying the bills to juggling back-to-school schedules.
Keeping up with each family member’s comings and goings gets complex once the school year starts. You need a system, and here’s how your HP all-in-one can help:
Print a yearly calendar to post in a central place for all to use. The HP Activity Center has a variety of creative calendars
Copy weekly schedules of the kids’ games and activities, pick up times, and your own appointments. Give each family member a copy.
Fax carpool schedules and phone numbers to each driver.
Copy notices of upcoming events to add to family bulletin board.
Create a portable office: fill a folder with copies of phone lists, calendars, babysitter instructions, and more, which can easily move with you to any room.
Keep a printed list of your valuables with the HP Home inventory kit —great for insurance and tax purposes.
Scan in copies of insurance cards, passports, credit cards, and other vital information so you have ready back up.
It’s easier to keep the house clean and the fridge stocked when you have got organization tools that work. Your all-in-one can help create systems to make household chores easier for everyone.
Create and copy a general food-shopping list of all your usual items to post on the fridge and check off as needed.
Scan recipes from cookbooks and create a weekly dinner menu so you don’t have to waste time wondering what to cook.
Helping your children stay organized when school starts will make your life easier, teach them good habits, and start them on their way to better grades. Below are a few ideas for streamlining schoolwork.
Print nametag labels to stick on books, notebooks, and folders using label paper.
