Trackless Living
November 2003

Are there tell-tale trails around your home or office? Can someone tell what you’ve been doing by following the trail?

It’s time to try trackless living: leave a space as if no one had been there or used it. Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts say it this way: “Leave it better than you found it.”

Pick a space and try it: your desk, bathroom, kitchen, or car. For example, in the bathroom, put away the blow dryer and hairbrush after using them, quickly wipe the sink and counter, hang towels, close drawers, throw trash in the wastebasket, and place dirty clothes in the hamper.

At your desk, gather papers. Those you haven’t looked at belong in an in-box, others that you’re keeping for reference in a to-file box. Place your projects in files. Return manuals, directories and other tools to their homes. Discard coffee cups. The benefit: When you come in tomorrow, you’re ready to be productive without visual distractions.

Trackless Living Testimonies
High school student - “I sleep better when my room is clean.”
Mortgage Banker - “My job is easier without the paper piles staring me down.”
Realtor – “My car is always ready for clients.”

You may come home weary, but after resting in your visually peaceful space, you’ll feel energized. Leave your space “at peace” and you will love the results.
