CLOSETS
- Items used most frequently should be on shelves at eye level.
- Break alike items down into baskets.
- Hang all like clothes together, i.e., skirts in one area, blouses in another.
- Put shoes in boxes that are labeled or a rack where they can be easily viewed.
- If you haven’t worn it in a year, either move to a less used closet, or give away.
OFFICES/DESKS
- Have a basic “desk” kit available with all the items you use on a regular basis.
- Have a basket for items to review, items to file, items to shred.
- Mugs, jelly jars, small flowerpots are great for pens, pencils, and other supplies.
- Keep all warranty information in a binder with sections for tv, stereo, appliances, etc.
- Purchase a shredder to assure nothing with your name goes in recycling or trash.
WORKSHOP/GARAGE
- Store screws, nails, and bolts in see through jars. If you have a shelf, screw the tops to it so that the jar hangs below.
- Mount pegboard on the wall, draw outlines of the tools to show each tool’s home.
- Keep a bag with essentials to tote tools from room to room.
- Hang large items from the ceiling of the garage.
- Keep a fire extinguisher in a convenient area.
KITCHEN
- Wire baskets and glass bowls are great to keep fruit in view for on-the-go snacks.
- Double duty - while heating dinner in the microwave, take time to wipe down counters or cupboards - it’s easier to clean before food hardens.
- Arrange kitchen so items are easily accessible while cooking.
- Keep paper and pencil by the phone.
- Add vertical dividers to lower cupboard to store baking sheets and pizza pans.
LAUNDRY
- Having separate bins for different colored clothes saves time on wash day.
- A shelf above the washer and dryer is a great place for the detergent with spigots.
- Mount paper towels by the washer to wipe up spills.
- Hang a pocket shoe organizer to hold stain stick, spray starch, clothespins, etc.
- Have a basket for lost buttons or socks without mates. Go through it on a regular basis to find mates.
