Organizing from the Inside Out
by Julie Morgenstern
Morgenstern's analyze-strategize-attack method and the kindergarten model: zones for activities, everything stored where it is used, at point of use. It is a systematic approach to organizing that starts with how you actually live rather than a product catalog, and it has aged well.
Read it if…
you want a system for organizing based on how you use spaces.
Skip it if…
you want to own less; this is about arranging what you have.
Three things you will actually use
- Analyze before you buy containers.
- Store at point of use.
- Zones make maintenance automatic.
Do this first
Map the activities you do in one room and create a zone with supplies for each.
Our verdict
Systematic and durable.
