How to organize your home with these easy tips

Written By Dr. Becky Lossing

If you are always looking for your keys or wallet, then today is the day to organize your home entryway.  It will help you find what you need quickly so that you can get to work on time and fluster-free.    

Organizing your entryway doesn’t have to be very involved or time-consuming, and you don’t need to go to the Container Store (if you don’t want to).  It can be as simple as setting out a bowl on a table close to the door for your keys and wallet, and a second for masks and other work-critical items.  This will help establish a usual location for them, and keep them visible and physically separated from other clutter that might build up around them.  

But, organizing is just part one.  

Committing to a new behavior is part two.  That means whenever you walk in the door, the first thing you do is put your keys, wallet, and mask back in their right place – even before you sit down or reach for that post-work snack.  That way, they’ll be in the right place for next time, and you can start off tomorrow’s workday smoothly and on a good note.

It’s important to note that I did not use “Next 10 Hours” strategy to study for my own NAVLE® exam in 2013 – since I didn’t come up with it until 2021 - but it’s what I would use if I had to do it all over again. 

 

I was very fortunate to pass the exam on my first try in 2013, but I have often looked back and thought that my study strategy was not an efficient/targeted use of my time.  This is partially what inspired me to think about a different way for how to study for the exam.  That, and, in 2017, I started working in the software development world, where this framework (working in smaller, yet complete batches) is routinely used to tackle large projects.  I believe that it is highly translatable to studying for the NAVLE®, and hope that it can help future students prepare for the exam with more confidence and less stress.
