Command Center
Every home needs a logistical headquarters—a “command center”. This is where you gather the structural supports you need on a daily basis. In general, the idea is to dedicate a spot (near the door, preferably) for: Whiteboard – to communicate important messages Family calendar Drop-off/Pick-up point for keys, phones, papers, mail, handbag, kids’ backpacks, library books, outgoing dry-cleaning, etc. Tip: Before you start looking, write down your most pressing issues in creating a command center. Otherwise, it’s easy to get distracted by the sheer variety and aesthetic appeal!
