Lets make a list of really great ideas. See how many you didn't think of until you needed it, and feel free to share!
Labeling the breaker box.
Finding your keys before you lock the front door behind you.
Setting your glass on a table that does NOT have a computer(or any other electronic device).
Cleaning up the yard before you mow.
Grippy socks on a wood floor.
Moving all electrical cords and headphones away from a puppy's reach.
Wearing knee pads when you remove wall to wall carpeting.
Just a few things that I have observed that might be really great tips if you haven't thought of them yourself!

In the kitchen
My kitchen is the only room in the house with adequate storage. Some of that storage I need to use a ladder to get to, but it is storage nonetheless. So the problem is...the kitchen has turned into a lazy Susan of sorts. For those of you who are not from the Midwest, a lazy Susan is a round thing that rotates and you stick it on your table. You fill it up with food at mealtime and when you want something you twirl it around. What happens is that once it gets sat there people start to fill it up with junk that doesn't belong there.
When you want something in my house its always in the kitchen. Food, of coarse. But what else do you want?
Your winter coat? light jacket?
The kitchen.
Medication? First aid kit? Latex free band aids?
The kitchen.(its the only cabinet in the house that locks)
Candles? Batteries? Wine glasses from some anniversary so long ago you cant remember? Hot Glue gun? Bicycle helmet? Cedar shavings for an animal you no longer have?
Kitchen. Kitchen, kitchen.
Lamp oil? Baby box full of newborn items for your 7 and 8 year old? Hairbrush? Dog brush? Laundry? 2 ft tall ceramic basset hound? Cooler? Scissors? Paper bags?
Kitchen kitchen kitchen. Oh, and Kitchen.
See what I mean? Its always in the kitchen.
My kitchen needs a serious overhaul. I suspect it will take a solid week just to unload it. I suspect more than half will be sent off to the yard sale then gifted to a thrift store.(You really think my stuff will sell? No, I don't either.) And then? We might actually eat in there. What a concept, eating in the room you prepare food in. I hear that's the next "big thing". If I had a rolling eye smiley, I would insert it here. Next thing they'll say couches are not for sleeping. You watch, it'll happen.
