I read a lot of what my son Andy calls “shelving blogs”. I don’t know where he got the idea that they were all about shelves – they’re actually decorating blogs written by other moms.
I saw a great organizing idea the other day on one of them that I thought I would share: organizing by the day of the week.
As I remember it, the woman had a series of baskets near the door that her family most often uses. There was one for each day from Monday through Friday.
So, for instance, if one of the kids had scouts on Thursdays and needed to turn in a permission slip, the signed slip went into the Thursday basket.
My kids are in college and their books and school stuff is all over the house. Like most college kids, they have one set of classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, and a different set on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Every day before they leave, they have to hunt down that day’s books and supplies and transfer them to their backpack.
How much easier would it be if they had baskets for each day?
You could use this idea for a lot of things.
Sale papers and coupons in the corresponding basket for whenever you do grocery shopping. Vet appointment? Put the leash in that day’s basket. Library books to return? You get the idea.
I think I’m going to have to take a look around my house and see where I can put this idea to use.
What if the kids had 2 backpacks? One for MW classes and one for T Th classes? Then they just pick up the one they need.
Thanks for the info. Your site is great and I will be back!
