Redistributing While Organizing
I really liked this post by Erica Ecker at Stacks and Stacks about a “redistribution basket”. The idea is that you have a container or basket handy while you organize an area. When you discover items that are misplaced from another part of the house, temporarily store them in the redistribution basket. You are then able to maintain your productivity on the space you are working on without interupting progress to return misplaced items to other parts of the house.
My adaptation is slight. I keep several multi-sized baskets during my organizing efforts. In order to prevent my organizing projects from overflowing into other areas, I retain misplaced items in the baskets sorted by what part of the house they need to be relocated to. At the end of my organization time, I place the whole basket in the area it belongs. That way it is ready for when that space becomes my reorganizing target.
