Shhhh! It's a Secret!

Want to hear the ultimate secret to organization?

It's simple, actually.

First, everything must have a place.
Second, you (and everyone that uses it) must put it back after every use.

Ta da!  My work here is done!  Well, if it really were that simple we'd all be living highly organized lives in which we all could easily find each item we owned and never be afraid to open our Tupperware cabinets. :)  But, since we're all still working towards that goal, let's focus on the ultimate secret at hand.

These two steps really are the secret to organization.  Everything must have a place and then be returned to its proper place after every use.  (Notice that "every" word.  The secret doesn't work completely unless it's completely followed.)   For some items that task is easy.  You know that forks go in the silverware drawer that looks like a fork and you know that books go on the bookshelf.

But, what do you do with the other items that still need a home?  That's why I'm here.  Keep reading, following along, and soon, you'll find new ideas for Getting it All Together.
