Routine-Based Organization
Organize items according to when and how you use them in your daily routines, creating natural pathways through your day.
Morning Routine
Place coffee, breakfast items, and morning essentials in a logical sequence. Your morning station should support your routine from wake-up to departure without backtracking.
Work Routine
Organize workspace by task zones: computer work, phone calls, paperwork. Keep tools for each activity grouped together and within reach of where you perform that task.
Evening Routine
Create an evening landing zone for keys, wallet, tomorrow's items. Position night-time essentials for easy access in low light conditions.
Meal Preparation
Arrange kitchen based on cooking workflow: ingredients storage near prep area, utensils near stove, serving items near eating area.
Exercise Routine
Keep workout gear together and easily accessible. The less friction between decision and action, the more likely you are to maintain the habit.
Cleaning Routine
Store cleaning supplies in multiple locations—where you use them—rather than in one central closet. This eliminates the gathering step.
Routine Mapping Exercise
Track your movement through spaces for one week. Identify repeated patterns and friction points. Reorganize to support your actual routines, not idealized ones.
