Tidy the entryway

Clear shoes, bags and mail from the spot by your front door.

Why it helps

The entrance sets the tone for coming home and heading out. A clear entry makes leaving on time much easier.

How to do it

1. Take out anything that doesn't belong there.
2. Line up shoes and hang coats.
3. Put keys and a bag in one fixed spot.

Make it easier

Only put shoes in order.

Make it harder

Add a small tray or hook for keys and mail.
