Could you find me a spoon?

September 1, 2021/0 Comments/in Tip of the Month/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

Organizing tipIf you invited me into your home could you find me a spoon? Of course, but what about a postage stamp, last year’s W2 form or tweezers? Are those things stored in a place that is easy to locate? Having a designated spot for things is the guiding principle of organization. So, treat every item as if it were a spoon and give it a designated storage spot.
