Give Everything a Home
Give everyday essentials a predictable landing spot so you have fewer places to search.
You might choose one steady home for the things you reach for every day. Keys could go in a shallow dish, and glasses could rest in a case beside your chair. The spot only needs to make sense to you, not look a certain way.
Start with one item that often goes missing. Put its landing spot near where you already use or set it down. If someone shares your space, show them the spot and ask them to leave that item there. You can move the station if it keeps getting ignored.
Try it
- Pick one item you often search for.
- Choose a spot you can reach without stretching or climbing.
- Add a simple label if that helps.
- Return the item there after your next use.
Make it yours
There's no one right way. A few other directions people take it:
- Use a small tray instead of separate containers.
- Keep separate stations for different rooms if that fits your routine.
