We have all heard the old adage 'A place for everything and everything in its place' and for an efficient life there's no better motto!

 

So I recommend giving everything a home.  I have realised that for some people this is not so easy as they don't have a logical or systematic approach to things.   Group things together - keep wrapping paper, cards and envelopes with a scissors and tape all in one place.  Get a tape dispenser or one of the Scotch tape wristbands that has pre-cut pieces of tape - fabulous invention!    String, sticky tape, glue, drawing pins, fixer pads - keep them all together.  Get stacking boxes and LABEL them so you do not spend ages hunting for things or worse still - keep buying new ones because you can't find the ones you have already got!

 

Oh - and if you really don;t know where to start - call in Sorted by Gwen!

 

There are much more fun things to do than waste time looking for things! 

Even declutterers find it a challenge to keep on top of the 'stuff' that comes in our doors!

 

Just recently I stuck up the 'No Junk Mail' please sign on my door and Oh! how I wish I had done it earlier!!   I seemed to spend so much time picking it up, looking at it briefly and putting it in the recycling.  That wasn't doing anyone any favours.  So my hallway is much clearer these days.   Funny how about 40% were for Take way Pizza - which I NEVER eat anyway!

 

If you are doing the same - stick up that notice!
