So there you are, faced with a pile of who knows what. It is on the fridge or any flat surface. You pick a few things out and find them new homes then you realize your just rotating flat surfaces. From the fridge to the desk to the stand by the door. Problem is they are all full. Now what?
Grab a box and place everything from all the flat surfaces in it.
Find a spot outside or in an other room and lay out as many boxes as there is rooms in your house.
Label these boxes( bathroom, bedroom etc).
Sort the items into the rooms they truly belong in expect leftovers we will deal with them next. When you have finished the first sort take a box to the room it is labeled and put things away. Returning to the leftover items try putting like items together it will help you see any excess and make decision making easier. As for the flat surfaces, put a basket there for misplaced items and empty it regularly.
Remember to enjoy your flat surface now that it is cleared away.
