Grab & Go Spot
To help you get out the door on time while remembering to take what you need with you, dedicate a spot in your home as the “Grab & Go Spot.” Usually this would be an area near the door that you leave each day to go out to your car. Examples of things we may need to take:
- Outgoing mail
- Gifts/cards
- Video tapes to return
- Library books to return
- Briefcase/purse
- Car keys
- Something we said we would give to someone else
- Papers kids need to take to school
- Return for a store
If you have a “Grab & Go Spot,” it will keep you from running around the house at the last minute trying to find what you need to take with you.
I actually have two spots. One on the corner of a table in my office for things that will be leaving the house but maybe not for a few days or even a few weeks. When it’s a day or two from that item needing to leave the house, I move it to my spot next to the garage door. You can even have a basket or bin in your car if you want to place items there the night before. Probably only a good idea if you are able to lock your car in the garage.
‘Grab & Go’ and make your mornings run smoothly!
