Send me a text message about this podcast SummaryIn this episode, Heather Tingle discusses the irony of putting items in a safe space only to forget where they are when needed. She explores different strategies for creating safe spaces for important items, such as setting up an odds box for random bits, using technology like Apple tags and tiles, and giving every item a home. Heather also talks about organising important documents and presents, and offers tips for keeping track of tickets and reminders. The key takeaway is to find simple and accessible storage solutions that work for you.TakeawaysCreate an odds box for random bits that you don't know what they're for but might need in the future.Use technology like Apple tags and tiles to keep track of items that leave the house.Give every item a home and make sure to put it back in its designated place.Organise important documents in a folder or fireproof box and make sure everyone in the household knows where it is.Designate a special hidey hole for presents and keep them in a consistent space.Staple tickets or reminders into your diary or have them in a designated paperwork folder, and set reminders to retrieve them on the day you need them.Chapters00:00The Irony of Safe Spaces02:21Creating an Odds Box05:10Using Technology for Organization08:05Organizing Important Documents09:56Designating a Hidey Hole for Presents10:52Keeping Track of Tickets and Reminders Support the showIf you'd like to say 'Thank you', by buying me a virtual coffee (it'll actually buy me a cup of tea!), you can do so HERE.
