One thing that has been helping me with organization is, when I come across something that’s out of place, I ask myself: “Where’s this thing’s home?”
If it doesn’t have a home, then it’s no wonder that it keeps ending up all over the place.
Being organized isn’t just about making things aesthetically neat and pleasing.
It’s about giving things homes.
Places where they can continue to reside; not just temporarily get moved to.
And if you’re going to go through all of that work to clean things up anyway, you might as well do the little bit extra it takes to give them that residential spot.
And not just some arbitrary, hard to remember place—a place that makes sense, that’s close to where it usually ends up anyway, a place that feels right.
P.s. I sip on coffee while I write these. If you enjoy these posts, you can support my future work by supplying me with one of my next cups of joe here. ☕️
