Any suggestions, my desk area is in the kitchen right off the garage entryway, and it frequently becomes the drop-off, or "just for now" site. It seems like I'm continually uncovering everyone's items off to get to my desk again. Also any ideas of how to encourage others to leave the area alone, ie getting pencils, markers and not returning, or leaving the mess, etc. Right now, I created a special box with all of those things they get into, and announced that this box was a free for all, but leave the other stuff alone. Helps a little. I've also gone so far as to use a Kotex box inside the cupboard, with the stapler, good scissors, stamps, located in it, no one seems to want to look in there, and my tools remain "findable"......:) Anyone have help?
