Everyday when I get home, I put everything I have with me in it’s own home. That’s it!

Empty pockets and bags

I empty my pockets and my purse and put my lipgloss, tissues, keys, mirror, etc in their predetermined places. Everything has a home so this takes no thought at all. I don’t believe in junk drawers or catch all trays since it takes about the same amount of effort to put my items aways as it does to put them in a jumbled bin.

Put jewelry away

I take off all of my jewelry and put it away in jewelry trays.

Put shoes away

My shoes come off of my feet and go straight onto the storage shelves right by the door.

Put jackets and coats away

I take off my coat (after emptying the pockets of course!) and hang it up in the closet.

Put coffee cups and utensils into the dishwasher

My used coffee thermos goes straight into the dishwasher.

This may sound simplistic but that’s because it really is. Once organized, it’s very easy to create new habits and to stay organized by making sure that everything has a home and the moment you come into your home, your items find theirs.

Now go empty those pockets!
