Create An Errand Drop Spot

Januarys General Organizing Tip

Create a “drop spot” by the door commonly used to exit your home. This drop spot can be a basket, bench or table and is used to hold all outgoing items, such as store returns, library books and rental movies, and even borrowed items from friends or family. Make it a habit to look at what is there each time you leave to see what you can return or deliver that day. If the drop spot gets too full, perhaps you need to schedule an errand day.
