When you live in a two-story home you are made more aware of your laziness. Hence, the need for the infamous basket on the stairs. The basket is a catch-all for all the things that need to be taken back upstairs----but not right now, later. Presumably when I have more energy or can make one of the kids do it.
A place for everything, and everything in it's place.
No, to work efficiently there must be two strictly enforced rules...
#1
The only things allowed in the basket, are things that belong upstairs
#2
The basket must be emptied every night, without fail.
No exceptions.
Do you have a basket on the stairs? Do you have a place for everything? If not, you may want to join me next week as I begin my "A place for everything" project at my home. I will share some of my favorite organizational tricks and solutions---and hopefully get the online encouragement and accountability I need to finally clear out our storage units and finish the final unpacking.

What a neat idea! I have never seen a basket like that!!
Okay, so your basket is a much better idea than what I used to do when we lived in a 2-story house... which was to just throw it UP really really hard and hope it makes it to the top of the steps without hurting anyone! :)
