How well is your home working for you? Try a little test. Ask yourself how much time it would take to find an immunization record, hang a picture, replace the batteries in a remote control, or locate a spare house key. That long? Then it’s time to get organized!

In this chapter, you’ll develop a plan to fine-tune storage and surroundings and create organized spaces for each activity in the home. Tapping the principle of contained clutter, we’ll look at ways to keep your stuff accessible yet under control. We’ll get creative with storage options and explore ways to make peace with multiuse areas.
