Tiny Wins & Hints for December Use these anywhere in your home this month, not just in the project space: One-tray rule: If it doesn’t fit on the tray, it doesn’t live there. Trays create instant boundaries and stop spread. Container first, then stuff: Choose the bin, basket, or jar first—then decide what earns a spot. It keeps the space from overfilling. Visible = used. Hidden = forgotten. Put your most-used items in clear view and your “fun extras” just a little out of the way. Think “experience,” not just storage. Ask: How do I want this to feel when I walk up to it? Cozy? Clean? Minimal? Let that guide your choices. Timer magic: For any micro-project, set a 15–20 minute timer. Decide that when the timer ends, you either stop or only finish the step you’re on. - What’s Trending in Holiday Organization (and How to Steal the Wins)If December has you juggling packages, ribbon, and houseguests, you’re not alone.
