Most, if not all,  our ideas come from our own lives.  We share ideas that have come from working out our own organizing or home management dilemmas.

 

Yes, we are sometimes late and yes, we do sometimes misplace things. We're not perfect but those things are a rarity and not the norm.

 

My problem is my keys. Yes, I do have a few.  I misplace them on the bathroom sink as I often rush in  for an emergency bathroom break. Other times, while in a hurry, I sometimes leave them in my car, or worse, in the front door.

 

Even as much as I try, it still happens, but I approach the problem with trying to decide what tools could help me solve this problem. My answer was a purse with a good size front pocket that was a great place to drop my keys when not in use.  They are easy to drop in the pocket and easy to grab and go. It works! While I occasionally do misplace them still,  the frequency is less often.

 

So, when you say to yourself, "How come I didn't think of that?" or "How can I stop forgetting things that I need to do?", understand that our organizing team has learned these skills and solutions from our own experiences as both wives and moms.

 

Even if you're not an organized person, you, too, can come up with small solutions to fix your big problems. But for some of you, your solution may be to call a professional. :)
