See the Basic Principles section for the tip on creating "Toolboxes", a method for keeping everything together to complete a task. I´ve used the Toolbox strategyT for speeding up packing school lunches in the morning. We keep lunchbox items such as granola bars, pudding cups, and bags of chips together in a plastic bin in a cupboard of our kitchen, together with lunch bags and plastic spoons. This also makes it obvious and easy for kids to know what items to grab if they need to pack a snack or a lunch in a hurry.

Mix Packet Storage
Don´t chase loose drink mix packets in your cabinets or drawers. Instead, keep all the drink mix packets in an inexpensive index card filing box.

Refrigerator Organization
The refrigerator has potential for organization just as any closet or drawer does. Try using plastic boxes in your refrigerator for gathering items together that may be rattling around loose on the shelves. Or you might want to combine condiments together in a box so that the next time you make sandwiches or hot dogs, you can pull all the needed condiments out of the frig in one motion.

Clean Up Time
When cooking a meal, use the time that you have in between steps to do some of the dishes you just used. At the end of the meal, you can spend less time cleaning up the kitchen and more time visiting with your friends and/or family.
