I have been accused of creating piles. Not just a few but all over the house. What I am finding though is that I only have a few piles, the rest are there as an attempt of others to help straighten out a living house. By that I mean that you can set down just about anything in this house and someone else will pick it up and move it. Maybe not far, but move it to a different location.
When everything is put away I can find it speedily. Most of the time when I am finished a project I put every item back, just because I know it won't stay where I set it. Also there are a variety of small people that stay here often so I am constantly looking for things that might be a danger.
I find that on a daily basis I put away a few piles every day. Sort the papers, pay the bills, throw out trash, put the toys in the correct bins, place clothing in the owner's room, finish projects that are waiting their turn, ect. So I am not going to take total responsibility for all the piles. A crying baby, grown up children on the phone and a husband that needs to have someone to hold a light while he works on a car will aways triumph over something that could go into a temporary pile until tomorrow. People first, stuff second, and a well ordered house that is always a work in progress.
