When you were a kid, someone told you to put things back where you found them. You've probably been hearing it ever since, and the scissors still go missing. There's more to being organized than a tidy house.
This video gives you nine habits that organized people use so they never have to rely on memory. Three let you see when something is missing. Three stop you guessing where a thing went or how old it is. Three warn you about a problem weeks before it happens. They come from places where losing track of something is dangerous or expensive, like an operating theatre, a library and a restaurant kitchen. Each habit comes with its steps and an example from everyday life, like a hotel checkout with children, a mortgage application, a boiler that stops in winter or a passport that expires before a holiday.
