My grandpa’s secret is simple. Everything has a home, and he swears by the following rule: "If you can’t see it, you won’t use it."
Every time he visited my mom's house, he'd glance at the cluttered and disorganized garage and say, "You have no room or space for any of my things." And he wasn't wrong.
