Episode notes
Zones Hold Mid-Process Tasks
- Zones act as holding places for chores that are mid-process so you don't have to finish tasks immediately.
- Kendra says zones prevent visual clutter while keeping tasks visible and actionable later.
Make Simple, Visible Zones
- Create specific zones like dirty dishes, laundry buckets, and paper baskets to contain items until you can tend them.
- Use containment (a basket or counter edge) to make visual clutter feel tidy and manageable.
Let Priorities Shape Routines
- Decide what matters most in your home and let that priority shape your daily chores and routines.
- Stop copying others; design chores to support your household's values like cozy, calm, or ready.
