Items that need to be taken elsewhere, fixed, or put away become clutter unless there is a transition spot for them. Do you have a place for…?- Library books – shelf or basket where you read.
- Dry cleaning – bag in closet or laundry room.
- Items to donate – bin in trunk of car or convenient closet or laundry room.
- Items that need repair – bin in garage or kitchen.
- Purchased items that need to be returned or exchanged – bag in car or "launching pad" - a spot designated for all the items you'll need when you leave the house.
- Borrowed items that need to be returned – bag in car or "launching pad".
- Items that need to be returned to their "homes" in a different area of the house: a spot for items to take downstairs or upstairs, a spot for items to go to the garage, etc. – basket, bag hanging on doorknob, or bin near the transition area.
- Items that your children have left out and need to put away – basket or shelf in living room/family room.
- Clean laundry for family members to put away – shelf in laundry room, laundry basket in child's bedroom.
What transition spot could you not do without?
