as you unload
groceries, put
the bags right
back in your
car or on a
designated
hook by the
door.
Use the backs of doors and cupboards for

bonus storage space. Shallow shelves,
hooks, and over-door organizers make convenient
spots for items that chronically don’t have homes.
When putting

storage containers,
don’t spend time trying
to match lids to bases.
Instead, get two
inexpensive plastic bins.
File all the lids in one
and stack bases in the
other. Match as needed.

envelope, one per family member.
Once a year, pare down the stack
and transfer to a designated file
