Do you know how many magazine subscriptions you have? If so, are you reading ALL of them? I only have two subscriptions and sometimes its hard to keep up. Here's how I manage my magazine subscriptions.

Amazing tip! I have someone in my family that has at least 6 subscriptions coming in each month. And besides not having time to read them I think they are automatically being billed each month on the credit card...yikes! Plus some of the companies send you invoice looking letters implying you have not made a payment when they are just trying to get you to reorder your subscription. This makes me sad because alot of elderly fall for this! Love all your advice!

@4funnybunnys thanks!! 6 subs is way too much - reading one magazine is already time consuming!

That's exactly why I don't have any magazine subscriptions. Whenever they came in, I always felt obligated to read them. I just buy them on the newstand whenever I find an interesting one.

@abpanphoto i agree!

Hey Alex, I've been a subscriber of yours for about a month now and I love your videos. I wanted know if you are as organized with your finances and you are with everything else. If so can you please do a video with tips on how to manage bills and save money?

@Skaibriewindley Hi! I'm going to do a video soon on how to organize files in your office - some of that will be covered in that video :)

I thought I was the only one who took notes on mags. I also have a website notebook where I write all the sites I need to check out for future reference. My only problem is I am a magazine hoarder. I sub to about 13 or 14 mags and counting, I am finding it harder and harder to stop collecting them. But thanks for these tips, maybe I will donate some soon

I learned the hard way that having too many mag subscriptions is like having too many YouTube subscriptions. It's way overwhelming!

@knittingnovice thank you so much for telling me about pinterst and evernote! I cant wait to use them! thanks again:)

@ilovethosevideos Check out pinterst.com  You can collect all kinds of images and things from the web as well as your own photos. I have not used it yet so I am still testing and experimenting. One of my favorite programs/app is Evernote. You can create all kinds of great "notebooks" Their are even a blog of inspiration on the many ways of using it.

I agree with this tip. I have 1 and 1/2 subscriptions (one is about to run out) and I only get those. For anything extra I go to the library and check them out. I make notes or copies and archive the info for later use.

@HomeOrganizing Hi Alejandra! I am a design student and I take a lot of pictures from different travels and just random pictures which i find interesting for inspiration. My problem is that I get overhelm on where to begin to look because the inspiration pictures are with the personal pictures from that same travel. how I can organize these pictures so that it will be easier for me? Do you think i should print the put it in an album/folder? do you have a better tip in mind? Please help thank u
