How often do you, when you come home, put things(like the mail or your briefcase, or a jacket) down and think ‘I’ll get to that later..’ ? Maybe you need to empty your briefcase or tote bag. Do you ever ‘loose’ the keys because they are in the pocket of your jacket or the bottom of your bag? The things you put down stay where you put them until you take the time to go back, pick them up, and put them where they belong. You can save time by completing the tasks. It takes longer to remember what it is…
What did your first home look like? Was moving easy? Did you know where to put your things? My first home – away from my parents – was a small apartment. I was able to find some furniture in my parents storage unit that they no longer wanted so I didn’t have to buy as much stuff to furnish it. I hung some pictures on the wall but it did not have to homey feeling I was looking to create. I’d love to hear some stories about how you went about creating your first home.
Moving to a new city – country is really stressful. Moving across town to a new home can be just as stressful. Is there any way to be prepared? Can you (the person moving) minimize the stress to your family by anticipating the chaos and disorder? I’d love to know your thoughts – stories.
