String & Scissors

It seems like every time I need string--and scissors to cut it--which turns out to be pretty often, I have to look in about ten different places to find one and then the other. And by the time I find both, I get sidetracked thinking of fifty other things I need to do.

I've finally come to the conclusion that:
1. There is clearly room for improvement when it comes to my organizational abilities.
2. Living in a small apartment tends to greatly accentuate this fact.

In search of a solution to the string and scissors problem, here's what I decided to do. Both are now in the same place (hanging in the kitchen) and it's even possible to unwind as much string as I need without making a mess! I still have a long way to go, but it's a small step toward getting organized.

  1. That's exactly what happens to me, especially being sidetracked while looking for the object I need. I've done the same thing because apartment dwelling really forces you to organize: I have a receptacle for all the scissors because I have several, and one for the string. The rest however has yet to be organized......
