In the book, there are several great systems for keeping things organzied outlined. Here is the one they suggest for today's task:

Task - Today seek, sort and organize the keys to everything in your life. Purchase key labelers and rings and make duplicates, if needed. Finally, create a place just for keys. Install a rack or board with pegs or nails and label it so missing keys can be identified. For everyday keys, we have three suggestions: (1) put a basket by the door for family members to deposit their keys (2) Hang a hook inside your entry door (3) provide each family member with his own complete set of keys.

This is a huge problem in our house. My DH loses his keys almost everyday. I've tried the basket by the door - doesn't work as he doesn't use it, so maybe I'll try installing hooks in the laundry room today - worth a shot. I also like the idea of making duplicates - I keep putting it off and just today my daughter and I managed to lose the truck key (a long story), so when we took it to the shop, we took the one spare - makes me nervous not to have another backup.

Good luck! I do think the stress of not searching for keys every other day would be nice!!!

I'm back with the challenges. I got back from vacation on Sunday, but did not get back on track until today!!

I love the idea of putting some order in our keys. This is something we have been putting off for too long. It's the kind of thing you realize how important it was only once it's too late.
