How to Create Project Boxes

A great way to keep a communal space organized and neat is to establish different project boxes for each person or task. By introducing task specific boxes, you can better keep you and your family’s projects and tasks organized.

• Create a project box to house each of your tasks.
  
• Creating a separate box for each task gives everyone using the area a “home” without cluttering the work area. It also makes it easy to take your project to another room to work on.
  
• For kids, having a box of their own means they can quickly tidy up after using a communal space.
  
• Clip interesting articles/images from magazines and file them away, toss the rest
  
• Make the tools that you use on a regular basis accessible (i.e. sewing machine and scrap booking tools) having your equipment buried under a mess results in unfinished projects and even more clutter.
  
• When you are finished working on something, be sure to put it back in its rightful home. This frees up workspace which is especially important in a communal area
