“It is a simple task to make things complex,

But a complex task to make them simple”

UNKNOWN

A “landing pad” is a phrase my client Jeff introduced to me. A landing pad is the place where you can come into your home and drop your stuff. This is where you always keep your purse, fanny pack or wallet. Your cell phone plugs in, your keys hang up, and your pockets get emptied all while standing in the same place.

Your landing pad is a very personalized space that you create and designate as your own. Each person in the household will have a different landing pad. Your landing pad may be in the kitchen if that is close to where you enter your home. Someone else’s might be in the office so that it’s away from the common areas of the home. Also, each child needs his or her own hook to hang up their backpacks and coats.

Having a designated landing pad area is very important for creating new organizing habits. It is much easier to always put your keys on a hook if you can drop all the other things that are in your hands first. It’s also faster to get out the door when you always go to the same spot for all your important items: keys, purse, sunglasses, and whatever else you take with you regularly.
