The 4-Part Drop Zone

Works in a hallway, a corner, or the back of a door.

Clutter enters the home through the front door and then spreads. A drop zone is a checkpoint. Ours is forty centimetres of wall and it changed our mornings.

The sheet, in text

1. A hook for each person. Coat and bag, one hook each. Extra coats live in the closet.
2. A tray for pocket things. Keys, wallet, sunglasses. Same spot, every time, no thinking.
3. Shoes off the floor. A rack or a bench with a shelf. Two pairs each, the rest go away.
4. One inbox for paper. Mail lands here and nowhere else. Empty it every Sunday.

If something has no part here, it does not stop here.

What I would actually use for this

Do the sheet first. If you still need something afterwards, these are the ones from my own shortlist that fit this job.
