Where are your household hot spots and how are they making you lose your cool?
Though we all may have different "hot spots", we all get burned, don't we? When asked, we can immediately tell about them: those frustrating surfaces that are constantly re-cluttering and driving us crazy. Ironically, they probably form RIGHT where we need to have space to work. And to bug us even more, they can be obvious to visitors.
A prime space for a hot-spot is at an entrance - the surfaces people first pass as they come home cumbered by packages, mail, and payroll or school stuff. But a desk quickly becomes a hot-spot, too, keeping us from efficient Desk Days, and if there are readers in the family or several subscriptions, a surface in the living area may turn "hot" quickly. Bathroom counters are quick to catch clutter but slow to let go!
August is a hot, hot month for many of us, and we may be looking for smaller, "light" projects to help us cool down! Try COOLING a hot spot or two and MAINTAINING them at a nice comfortable "temperature" this month. 21 days of remembering to keep a hot spot clear may give you a habit that keeps you refreshed every time you look at it!
