Easy Ways to Create Order
by 6 people Tips to help you make organization a part of your daily routine.
Take 10 minutes this weekend to implement these sanity-saving suggestions:
Park it. Find a permanent spot for keys, eyeglasses, and remote controls. If you use something daily, put it within arm's reach. Store rarely used items in out-of-the-way shelves and drawers.
Assign it. Designate a shelf in the entryway for each family member. Also assign each child a see-through storage box for odds and ends and a hanging folder for important documents.
Time it. Don't assume your children can get ready in an hour. Some kids need more time, some less. Take out a stopwatch and find out exactly how long it takes each child to get dressed in the morning and walk out the door. This will help you decide when your kids need to be woken up.
Just do it. If something takes less than a minute (rinsing a mug, putting away a book), do it right away -- even if you're on your way out the door. One minute now doesn't have a big impact on your schedule, but if you let all those one-minute tasks pile up, it's a different story.
