Have you seen me lately????
Know what this is? That's right...In our house, this is a norm. An empty toilet paper holder.
Why start with this? Well, pretty basic I think. If you are going to be organized, you have to start off with the essentials...no pun intended.
____________________________________________________________________
-The Symptoms-
Why we do this: We leave toilet paper holders empty because we forget about it. Understandable. BUT - not so funny when you are the next one in, and are left stranded.
Why we forget: Too busy? Probably. Or the kids don't tell anyone.
Why this disorganization causes stress: You can let me know that. I am not answering.
____________________________________________________________________
DAY 1 FIX:
Go to where you store the "toilet paper" and..
***If you don't have any - go to the store and buy at least 6 rolls for each bathroom you have.***
Take the toilet paper you have, and visit EACH bathroom in your house. DO NOT "forget" or you will not make it through this first day.
Put 3 rolls in each bathroom. Under the vanity, in the cabinet, closet whatever...just put 3 rolls in a PLACE that you will repeat over and over (repetition breeds good habit).
***NOTE: if the holder is empty, place a roll on the holder, and also store 3.
Now. Your cabinet or storage area should have three stored rolls, and the empty roll is occupied.
STAY THIS WAY: Put on your grocery list (right now) that you need to buy 3 rolls per bath on your next trip to the store. Put it in your general storage area so you will not be without. Repeat.
____________________________________________________________________
This will help you eliminate stress not only in your lives, but also those who visit you. Nothing is more embarrassing than hearing a guest scream from an upstairs bathroom. "I NEED TOILET PAPER!!! HELP!!!!" *sighs*
You have until tomorrow at 11 A.M. to complete this task. Report back to me and let me know if you are complete. I will issue Day 2, at 11 in the morning.... Good night!
:) Admitting you have a problem is the first step...
DAY 1 - Start with the basics...
