10 Traits of an Organized Home
Barbara Myers
by Barbara Myers (http://www.ineedmoretime.com)
1. Lack of clutter because everything has a place. The band-aids are in the kitchen cabinet left of the sink. All videos are in the cabinet near the VCR.
Today's mail is sorted into individual family member's baskets or folders.
2. Refrigerator, freezer and pantry are stocked and organized. There's a planned menu for this week. A grocery list in progress is posted near the fridge.
3. Clean laundry is put away. Dirty laundry is in hampers or is being laundered.
4. Family calendar is updated daily and color-coded by person.
5. Chore list is clearly posted. Everyone does his or her share as a member of the family.
6. There is a key rack, shoe rack and pegs for jackets and backpacks near the door.
7. Toys are separated into containers by category and can be put away quickly.
8. There is a portable file box into which bills and paperwork are organized.

the house.
