Make A Spreadsheet To Organize Your Home

After years of not being able to find things in our home, I have created an Excel spreadsheet which I call "Where Everything Is". In column A, an item is listed (i.e., Alex's wallet). Column B says where the item is stored (i.e., Alex's top nightstand drawer). Column C is a date of the entry.

My husband and I use it for insurance papers, etc. Seems kind of simple, I realize, but you'd be surprised how many times this has come in SO HANDY!
