This Goes

This wasn't the real game playing board

It's only a game.  Here's how it's played.  Pick a small area of a room that is cluttered.  I picked my kitchen.  Say out loud as you pick up each object, "This goes. . . ."

Before I zoomed off into other Things I get to do today, I played "This Goes" with my kitchen counters.  For ten minutes you would have heard this: This goes in the car (and I walk with the object to the car). This goes in the bedroom (walk with the object in hand to the bedroom). This goes in the office. And this goes in the pantry. And this goes in the compost pile. And this goes in the cupboard. This goes in my handbag. And this goes. . . . The winner of the game is the kitchen, and the winner of the game is me. Win/win.
We won!





Those of us who like to talk to ourselves, it's a great way to keep focused on a tidying project.  For someone listening in, well, let them think what they will.
