Labeling is Key

A few weeks ago, I talked about the importance of labeling when organizing electronics. I want to stress the importance of labeling throughout your home. Label shelves and containers, even when the items inside the containers or on the shelves are clearly visible.

Advantages of labeling:
* Everyone in the home can see where items belong.
* When an item is not in it’s space, the label indicates what belongs there, and so other items do not take over the “reserved” space.
* Identifying what is in containers is fast & easy.
* When consumable goods are depleted, shopping needs are clearly visible.

So, grab a marker and stickers or a label maker and start labeling!
