Organizing Tips for Around the House

Here are a few organizing tips for around the house:

Entry Way

• Create a landing space near the door you come in. Keep keys, cell phone, purse and other items you need when you walk out the door together in the landing space.
• Individual baskets for each family member at entry. Decorative and useful baskets can be found at many places, included Michael’s and World Market.
• Kid level spaces for storage and retrieval of coats and book bags

Mail

• Create a spot for sorting mail and paying bills. Use a basket, decorative box or organizer to store pen, checkbook and stamps so material is handy

Kitchen

• Make sure the tools you need for each task are near their designated area (pots and pans near stove/oven; dish detergent, and cleaning agents near or under sink; dishes and utensils near table/breakfast bar).
