Use containers as your guide

April 1, 2025/0 Comments/in Tip of the Month/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

Allow the container to determine the limit of how many you can keep. You maintain control of what you keep and the container serves as a guide for the quantity of what you keep. For example: use your shoe rack to help you determine how many shoes to keep. By only keeping the amount that will comfortably fit on the shoe rack you’ll be able to organize your shoes quickly and easily.
