Making a Checklist for Child's Bedroom

I finalized the checklist for my daughter's bedroom over the weekend. To do this, I start with 1 piece of furniture in her room and then sweep through the room, in a large circle, visually in my head. Moving from 1 piece of furniture to the next; evenutally ending where I started. Then I do a top to bottom visual check. That means starting at the ceiling, moving to the walls and moving all the way down to the baseboards and carpet. If doing this without being in the room is an issue for you, then take yourself into the room for a visual check and follow the same steps. To make this even easier in the future, keep that list on your computer and when the same room or "zone area" comes up, you can pull the list and get to work without much thought.

Many organization sites offer list. Using one of those list is a great foundation, but as you can see I have some odd things to do in my daughters room. Personlize your detailed list, however small. Don't hestitate to put it on there. The more you are able to check off, the greater you'll feel.
