Labels & Home Inventory Systems
Labels are the memory of every other system on this site. This system labels in the words your household actually uses, at sizes matched to the container and the reading distance, and keeps a simple home inventory behind the labels so boxes in storage are findable without opening them.
Start-here checklist
- Label with the words the household says, not catalogue terms
- Match label size to reading distance: jars small, boxes big
- Every storage box gets a contents label and, for seasonal, a photo
- The inventory is a list, kept where the boxes are stored
