It’s a daunting task at hand, but it makes sense (and it works). When you have a home for something, you tend to put it away, because you know where it should go. When you are finding permanent homes for items, think “Where would I look for this?” and that’s your answer on where to put it.
I have a lot of clothes. It’s a trait I inherited from my mom (who definitely got the love of shopping from her mom). Now that I no longer have a use for “professional clothes” because I work full-time at MotoProz which means t-shirts, jeans and tennis shoes. No more buying sweaters, dress pants, or dress shoes. I kept a few dress clothes for special occasions, but I really downsized the dress clothes in my closet. We have a hot tub at home and swim often in the lake or while on vacation, so I gave myself permission to buy all the jeans and swimsuits I want. I have a place for them, if the space is getting too full, it’s time for something to go!
I try to keep countertops clear. It is hard to keep the kitchen counter clean and clear and ends up being the catchall. It’s constantly a work in progress. I try to tidy up a little each night, and every week or two I file papers and empty food out of the fridge we didn’t use. I also pick a short task (usually something I’ve been putting off) to complete in the morning before work. I feel like I accomplish more if I tackle a task right away in the morning.

There’s so much to do, so little time. Bye for now!
