Pt. 3: Designating a place for each thing.
Now that we have gone
through our belongings, and organized the things that spark joy in our lives,
we can move on to the next step, which is designation. "The point in
deciding specific places to keep things is to designate a spot for every thing"
(Kondo 131). Although it may be a pain to rearrange and designate spots for
your things, in the end you'll only have to do it once. After a spot is
designated, it will become a habit for you to put your belongings in those
spots. I personally have designated areas in my room for my book, CD's, art
supplies, my guitar, etc.
“One of the main reasons
for rebound is the failure to designate a spot for each item. Without a
designated spot, where are you going to put things when you finish using them?”
(Kondo 132).
Whenever I finish a book, I make sure to put it back on my
bookshelf where it belongs. When I’m done jamming out on my guitar, I put it
back in the corner by my desk. Once everything has a spot it is way easier to
keep your room tidy and organized.
Question:
Do your
belongings have designated areas? If so where are they? J

Your closing question reminded me of something A wise man once said: "If a cluttered desk represents a cluttered mind, then what does a clear one represent?" He must have been a bit like me, nothing is where it should be! It's a pain in the butt I tell ya' :) Nice post by the way, keep it up!
