This month, as I seek to help my home be a bit more organized, I am tackling the hidden or not so hidden areas of our house: our storage locker, the extra closet in the baby's room, and the top of the large closet in the master bedroom. I may even attack the boxes in our bedroom - the ones that have become invisible because of their long time residence along the walls.
Regina Leeds' recommendation for this month's habit is to watch for the following comments: "I don't know where this goes. I'll just put it here for now;" then acting to find a home for those things.* When I find myself thinking or saying this (or hearing it from someone else in my family), I will find it a home or seriously consider letting the item go. If it does not have a place in our home, why is it here?
How about you? Do you have a habit you would like to solidify in your life this month? Is there a new habit you have been wanting to develop? Make this month the month to start. Maybe you would join me in seeking to find homes for the stray or orphaned objects in our homes?
