Best friends are active listeners. When you speak, your best friends should give you their full attention--your BFF’s phone should remain in a pocket, purses, or on a table. Best friends want to hear about each other’s struggles and triumphs, fears and dreams. Friends that constantly turn the conversation back to themselves are not your best friend. Friends that never ask you about your life or how you are feeling are not interested in getting to know you. If you or your friend has had a rough day, one person may dominate more of the conversation. Best friends respond to your text messages. They return your calls. They pick up the phone--even if you ring them at the early hours. Friends that fail to respond, or gets around to it when they feel like it, are not reliable communicators. Don't think they are unreliable if they don't answer you at the early hours, they probably need a rest.

Problem: Article: Keep the magazines you collect or want to reread at a later time. Set aside magazines with helpful information to come back to later. Then, recycle any magazines you no longer need. This will eliminate extra clutter from your home so your magazines will be organized and easy to access! If you prefer to keep things organized in alphabetical order, then arrange your issues by title so the magazines that start with “A” are on the left side, and the magazines starting with “Z” are on the right. Then, place your magazines in their appropriate place in between. If you have many magazines on the same subject, such as scrapbooking, cooking, or bodybuilding, then organize them categorically. For example, if you are looking for a new recipe for dinner, you can easily go to the “Cooking” section and locate an issue. File holders are small boxes or racks that allow you to display files, or in the case, magazines, vertically. After you choose your organizational method, put your magazines into the holders accordingly. You can fit 8-12 magazines in a standard file holder, depending on the thickness of your copies. For example, if you have many craft magazines and you want to organize them thematically, put all your craft magazines in the same holder. After you place all of your magazines in their respective holders, you should label them so you can easily locate individual issues. Write the name of the magazine, and include the issue numbers if you'd like.  You can write directly onto your magazine holders with a permanent marker, or use sticker labels and adhere them to the front of your holders. If you want to use a label maker, turn on your machine and type in the title of your label, such as "Animals." Then press "Print" to create your label. Peel off the backing and stick your label onto your file holder. You can situate the file holders anywhere you like. Keeping them on a bookcase is a great way to keep them organized and easily accessible. You could also store them in closet, on shelves, or even in a storage area like a basement or attic.
Summary:
Sort through your magazines and decide which to keep, recycle, or clip. Arrange your magazines alphabetically to easily locate issues. Organize your magazines based on theme to group hobbies together. Place your magazines into file holders. Label each file holder with a marker, sticker, or a label maker. Line up the file holders on a bookcase or in a closet.
