6-15-10 ~ Habits

Routine is the birth of habit...If we could disciple ourselves to get into certain Routines we can develop some great Habits!.

Some Routines we could get in the habit of:

#1. Put Belongings Away Immediately ~ This helps in the following ways:

Saving Time ~ When you put an item away immediately (bcs it has a "home") you wont be wasting time finding it next time.

Saving Space ~ When you put an item away immediately it has a "Home" and will not use other space to fill

Prolonging the life of an item ~ When you put an item away immediately you will be able to truly get your moneys worth out of that item. It will last longer therefore you will enjoy it longer this will allow you to prolong the purchase of a replacement

Placing Value in items ~ When you put an item away immediately you are showing others around you (Kids other adults) that you value your belongings and they will possibly get the message they should as well when they use them or barrow them. Kids will especially be the ones to teach this to.

Clearing your mind of "Clutter" ~ When you put an item away immediately you don’t have to remember "I need to come back alter and put that away?" or "Where did thing go?" or "Did so and so barrow it and never give it back?" or worse yet "What is that smell?" lol

Save you money ~ When you put an item away immediately you will not have to go to the store buy something only to come home and later find out you have 3 bottles of Windex and 2 Pledge sprays & 5 Lint rollers. BCS everything has a home you will be able to see what you need and don’t need when it comes time to shop
