Have you got a big project underway at home that is getting the better of you? Is your organization falling apart as this project mushrooms all over the house?
Take a tip from the design world to help get a big project under control. Find a container big enough to hold all the bits and pieces and put the whole project into the container.
- For a child’s school bristol board project a clear garbage bag may do the trick. Use a clear one so that they remember what’s inside and so that it doesn’t end up in the garbage by accident.
- For a sewing or craft project consider a box with a lid. The lid will keep the dust, cat and prying hands away.
- For a project with odd shaped items, consider a basket, laundry hamper or other flexible container to accommodate the odd shapes.
When the project is finished the container can be used for the next project or repurposed elsewhere in the house – the laundry perhaps!
