Clutter Control and Organizing Solutions

I got an email the other day from someone who was curious as to where I kept my household notebook. That’s a pretty good question since it contains some sensitive material, you might not want others to get a hold of.

While my household notebook has changed location several times over the years, it currently resides on a shelf in my kitchen near our computer center and a phone. It is also close by for reference while cooking, paying bills or just for general information.

Many families feel more comfortable keeping it in their bedrooms where it seems a bit safer. This is entirely up to you. I used to store mine there too, but then I found it was a nuisance to have to go retrieve it all the time and I wanted to keep it central to all our household activity.

A bookshelf in your living room, or anywhere else for that matter can work too, simply because it blends in and nobody is actually looking for it, but be careful when you have company in your home. You just don’t want any important information to fall into the wrong hands, but you also want to be sure you can access it whenever you need it as well as making sure it is updated frequently.

More on household notebooks coming all month long.
