Putting yourself into the mindset of a guest in your home is an excellent way to think about how you organize your home.
A guest has the least time to understand the systems in your home. If a guest can understand your home and meet their common needs then you know you have nailed it in terms of clear straightforward organization.
Then people like:
Your partner
Your kids
Friends
Your room mate
Your cleaner
Are all going to find your space a warm welcoming environment. It will make it easier for everyone to function in your home. You will feel more at ease when other people ‘do the right thing’ in your home. In turn everyone else will feel more comfortable in your space.
So if you are divorced, this will help your kids feel more comfortable in your home.
If you have a cleaner then they will be able to correctly tidy your home with less effort.
If you are trying to build a relationship with a new partner then they will feel more comfortable.
Your friends will enjoy coming to your space more which will make your home more social.
Of course if you prefer to be a miserable hermit then none of these things matter lol 😆.
