The landing tray rule

A tray turns a loose collection into a visible boundary. Use one for keys, lip balm, glasses, and the small objects that otherwise migrate across the house.

Choose a tray that can be lifted with one hand and leave a little empty space. Empty space makes the system easier to maintain than a perfectly packed organizer.

Keep it friendly

Containment works best when it stays quick and obvious.
