A Tidy Desk, Ready to Work
Age 7 Daily life
Before you start, put your place in order: the books in one straight stack, the pencils standing in the pot, a clean sheet of paper in front of you. When every thing has its own place, you don't waste time hunting for the eraser or the right notebook. A tidy desk also leaves you room to write and draw. When you finish, put it all back, and next time everything is ready.
Examples
- Clearing the kitchen table before homework and keeping out only your notebook, your pencil and a sheet of paper.
- Packing your school bag the evening before so nothing is missing in the morning.
Key takeaways
- Everything has its own place, and it goes back there after you use it.
- A tidy table helps you start faster.
