Outside of my job, I read and write a lot. This means I have an assortment of notebooks and books everywhere at all times. I love having good-looking crates, like this trio of wooden ones, around my home that can I designate for such items. When I’m cleaning, I just throw every book and notebook into the crate, clearing up table space, the couch and my bed. Later, when I’m looking for a certain book or notebook, there’s a great chance it’s in one of the crates.
Don’t get it twisted: I certainly do not return the book to the crate after reading it. No, no — I put the six books I’ve taken out all in the crate when I want to sit on my book-covered couch. Obviously, these can be used for any item you have a lot of, or as a general grab-bag situation. But the point is, creating spaces for certain stuff lets you easily move it when you’re cleaning.
