"Put Back" Bucket

 Good January Monday Morning to you all...

Here we are moving quickly through the first month of the year. Most of the store, blogs and Instagram posts are touting organization for this first month. We know how things have accumulated or been replaced by new gifts or purchases during December. 

So now we have to go through the old things and get ourself set up for the rest of the year. But things have a way of getting scattered and misplaced as the days go by. Things that we brought from the bedroom into the living room never made it back to their place. Things we needed from the garage ended up in the kitchen. We forgot to put them back where we got them. 

Oh dear! This forgetting to put things back where they belong after a while can take on a life of its own. Besides that we have a hard time finding what we need when we need it. Then those misplaced things start to pile up and get in the way of our normal life. 

So here's a suggestion. Most of us have a laundry basket or some sort of large tote we can use to gather up all those things and take them back to their home. Think about it. Quick as a wink you could grab your "take back" basket and make a stroll through your home corralling those misplaced things. What a good idea. 

Now you don't have to do it everyday but once a week you could take back things that have wandered away and recoup spaces that were lost. This is really a thrifty idea... No money spend and only a little time and you take back missing items and space. 

I hope you all have a really good week and practice being "thrifty" too.
