In the zone

In an effort to make our house more of a home, with breathing space, I have started to divide the house and each space into zones.

It is dead simple. In the kitchen is the coffee maker. I have moved the mugs and everything else to do with the coffee maker in the cabinet above them. Now, if I want to make coffee, I can just stand in the same position, and do everything from there.

Advantage is that I store everything I no longer need away immediately, and that it reduces clutter drastically.

It also means that I have to move stuff around the house a lot to get everything in its own designated zone.

Does all that work simplify my life? Oh yes it does.
Does it have to do with frugality? Oh yes.

Funny thing is, that now I have started this work, I have found I had way more food in the pantry than I thought, and I found that I really do not need as much stuff as I am having. This has lessened the buy, buy, buy habit a lot.

And that makes me happy. Isn't that what the journey is all about?

I have been doing that myself. I've been taking things to the church thrift shop (bought some too, oh well) The more I clean out, the better I feel.
