I smile when I go into her room as a substitute teacher and see something I had given her to use and it’s still being used! If only I had stayed that organized at home after I retired. Lol!

Rob: I sometimes see my phone’s message and, like you, I need to remember where I put the papers especially my property tax and eye prescription papers.

I made a master list of things I put in boxes a few weeks ago in my sewing area. I added to that list today as I found more things to put in the boxes. Now I need to make a master list of the sorted fabric that I put into bags yesterday. So much easier to remind myself what I have and where if it’s on a list.

quiltingcandy: I understand getting distracted.
