Those are some very powerful words. When you get milk out of the refrigerator, you put it back, right? Yes, because that’s where it belongs. When you put clean dishes away, you don’t just stack them on the countertops, or do you? So, when you get something out of your closet or a drawer, it follows that you can return it there when you are finished with it. If you just put it down, eventually you’ll have to put it away so why torture yourself with a big pile later and take the 10 seconds now to put it away.
Next time you find yourself vacillating between putting it down or putting it away, time yourself as to how long it really takes to put it away and you will be surprised. Would you rather take a few seconds now or face piles and piles later on when you have to spend a valuable Saturday afternoon cleaning up after yourself? I know this makes you procrastinators cringe, but if you can change your habits in small ways, it can improve your daily life in big ways! Think of it as 10 seconds now or two hours later. It’s your choice!
