The Address of Items
Items without addresses get lost. Batteries go in the “front left of the tool drawer,” manuals on the “blue-labeled file,” medicine in the “white box on the top kitchen shelf”—putting addresses into words and labeling them makes them clear to everyone. Organize storage by “least amount of opening required.” Frequently used items go lidless and front; items used a few times a year go top and back. Time spent searching turns into time for music.
— Tips : Label frequently used items in 3 categories with “address labels.” Minimize lids (use only removable ones). When putting things back, say the address aloud to confirm.
