1. Lack of clutter because everything has a place. The band-aids
are in the kitchen cabinet left of the sink. All videos are in
the cabinet near the VCR. Today's mail is sorted into individual
family member's baskets or folders.
2. Refrigerator, freezer and pantry are stocked and organized.
There's a planned menu for this week. A grocery list in progress
is posted near the fridge.
3. Clean laundry is put away. Dirty laundry is in hampers or is
being laundered.
4. Family calendar is updated daily and color-coded by person.
5. Chore list is clearly posted. Everyone does his or her share
as a member of the family.
6. There is a key rack, shoe rack and pegs for jackets and
backpacks near the door.
7. Toys are separated into containers by category and can be put
away quickly.
8. There is a portable file box into which bills and paperwork
are organized.
9. Home appears adequately clean. Family has a daily system to
pick up clutter and a weekly system for cleaning the house.
10. Family members have time for one another because their home
is organized.
