Skip the Search: ‘Grab-n-Go’ Spots

Save yourself the hassle of trying to remember where you left your keys: designate spots for your everyday needs, such as your keys, wallet or purse, and your phone. Leaving your keys near your door in a tray or on a key rack whenever you return ensures you always know where your keys are, and saves you from frantically searching before your morning commute. Remembering to take your wallet from your pocket and put it on your dresser will save you from having to sift through the laundry to find the pair of pants you left them in, or accidentally washing your cards and money. Finally, a dedicated spot armed with a stationary charger will give you a home for your phone that will keep it topped up. Consider giving a specific spot to other things in your house you end up searching for, such as a stepladder, flashlight, or TV remote, and save yourself the sanity when looking for these things.
