Easing the stress of daily life

kitchen drawerEvery so often we need to refresh ourselves on the basics. Sometimes, a truth goes beyond basics to a foundational principle. Here’s one that fits the bill:

Assign a place for everything.

This simple truth can ease the stress of daily life at work and at home if we know how to apply the term assign. Here’s my favorite definition: “To set apart for a particular purpose.”

The place we store our stuff should be purposeful and help us achieve a specific goal.

From drawer dividers to stackable shoe boxes to lazy susans – assigning a place for everything does not have to be expensive, just functional.

Get Your Ex Back Dns

And why not turn an unused metal 3-tiered paper tray into an organizer for baking dishes like a gal in Virginia did?

Got your own solution for assigning a place for everything? Please share it with me so I can pass it on!

Need help finding a solution? Give me a call or shoot me an email.

Sue’s Story

I've been a professional organizer most of my adult life. Who I am and why I love my work comes from how I was raised and the mysteries of DNA!

From the most humble of beginnings in Kentucky to helping businesses and organizations across the U.S., I always try my best to share both practical and inspirational principles and techniques.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often. And feel free to call or email anytime.

Even though you might reach me on my porch looking out at the Colorado Rockies, a born and bred Kentucky girl enjoys a good chat.
