Don't Put It Down...Put It Away

I all started when I was done spritzing the couch with Febreze. I placed the bottle on the side table and started to walk away. Then I realized if I left it there I'd only have to put it away later.

We all know later never comes so it would sit there for some time and other items would come to sit around it until there was a big mess to clean up.

So I stopped, grabbed the bottle, walked to the closet and placed it where it belongs.

How many times do we put it down instead of putting it away? And WHY??

Just on auto pilot and put it down.

Just busy/lazy.

Or does the item not have a home?

Or is the home too inconvenient?

So for this week's challenge catch yourself when you put something down instead of putting it away. If it does not have a home or at least a convenient one give it a good home. Otherwise put it away in two minutes or less and you'll have less stuff to clean up!

That's it for this week's challenge. Until next Monday have a clutter-free week and happy organizing! -Jamie
