Put Things Away

Having more people around for this winter break from school is wonderful!  I have noticed trends, however.  Some people keep all their items together and you never could trace them to where they've been in the house.  With certain others, you can find evidence of their day throughout the house:  a half-drunk cup of tea here, a book there, shoes in the corner, a phone on the counter, etc. 

It got me thinking that half the battle of staying organized and decluttered is putting things in their places immediately.  Yes, a place for everything and everything in its place...but it's more than that.  If possible, put things away when you set them down.  Items won't pile up and you will always be able to find what you need.
