Is Your Container Earning its Keep?

Tomorrow, we'll conclude our discussion on containers, which makes today a good day to ask the title question:

Is Your Container Earning its Keep?

Look around your house, and choose a container that's working and one that's not. 
Then, fill in the chart below.

Attribute
Container #1 (preferred)
Container #2 (not working)
Fits in the space
Right size             Yes     No
Right size             Yes     No

Right shape          Yes     No
Right shape          Yes     No

Right color/style    Yes     No
Right color/style    Yes     No
Has room to grow
Yes          No
Yes          No
Attractive
Yes          No
Yes          No
Easy to use
Yes          No
Yes          No
Gets used regularly
Yes          No
Yes          No
Works for your styles
Yes          No
Yes          No

See the difference? 

Once you know what works and what doesn’t, it’s easy to avoid impulse buying and peer pressure (file cabinets and binders do not work for every style!) and choose the right tools. Once you have the right tools, the job is immeasurably easier. 

See you tomorrow :-)
