Use It Or Lose It- by Nancy
We owned 20 fingernail clippers but I could never find any of them. What good is having something if you can’t find it to use it? Now, I keep all things manicure-ish in one case and store it in one particular drawer. Each member of the family knows where to find the clippers now and it has saved us a lot of hunting time and frustration.
I expanded the idea of keeping the same things in the same place by storing all shoe-polishing supplies above the washing machine and all car washing equipment in a laundry basket inside the garage. When I finally got all my gift-wrap items in one place, I actually enjoyed wrapping presents instead of feeling frustrated by going on a safari for scissors and a trek for tape. The principle is: keep the same type things in the same place.
