I have a large wood working shop. Lucky me. I’m also 80. And as I relocate tools and supplies in the shop for various reasons, I tend to forget these new locations. So I use a large pad to write on that has a column that is titled- TOOL-ITEM OR WHATEVER. THEN I HAVE ONE THAT SAYS LOCATION. So I can look down any column for what I’m looking for. I has worked for years. I like lists. I works in the house to.
“Doing it in pairs” is such great advice- I’ve been able to share stories and memories with my mom as I (try to) help her declutter and downsize.
I like the 15 minute time frame for organizing your space. It's doable. Trying to work for longer gets me feeling discouraged.
Yep, that’s exactly why the 15 min time frame works so well!

That’s a great idea, thank you for sharing!
Such great tips! I lean toward the mega-organized side but hadn’t thought about several of these!
