Create a 'Launch Pad' by the Front Door

The Problem

Every morning: 'Where are my keys? Has anyone seen my wallet? We're going to be late!'

The Hack

Set up a small table, shelf, or wall hooks by your front door. Everything you need when leaving goes here: keys, wallet, sunglasses, badge, bag. Put items there immediately when coming home.

Why It Works

A designated landing spot creates a single location for 'leaving the house' items. The habit of always placing items there eliminates 100% of morning searches.

Pro Tips

• Wall hooks: keys, dog leash, bags
• Small tray: wallet, sunglasses, AirPods
• Mail slot: one small basket for incoming mail only
• Train the whole family: everything goes on the launch pad
