| All this is seasonal stuff: Easter, Christmas, Halloween decorations, plus extra purchases made against the next great craft idea that is sure to come when the group convenes every Tuesday night |
With some concentrated between-Christmas-and-New-Year's hustle, it is clear items can be put back into place and still have more to deal with. Not shown is the Mantis rototiller, the many collapsible yard waste bags, and other gardening supplies...and a family member's treadmill being held "until she can get back to pick it up".

Clearly, the plan needs to be to acquire or manufacture space somehow. Right now, the idea of enlarging the shed has to be revisited. Three trips to the landfill has honed the trash and broken. Visits to the local thrift store has reallocated useful items for the good of others. Forcing the hand of "guest space hijackers" to come get their stuff for New Year's is the next step as well as talking to our local deck and shed guy. Having stuff stored where it needs to be stored would be helpful.
In hindsight? How does this happen? What appears to be disorganization chaos is sometimes nothing more than misplacing useful items into the wrong place and letting others take advantage. When the president of a club resigns and drops off all the materials and club equipment to the garage, that was taking advantage. When family members purchase good deals and store them in the garage for later pick up, that was taking advantage. When I use the many lovingly accumulated decorations I am so proud of, but then do not carefully put back after use, I take advantage of my time because now I have to use time to re-do what was already done.
That's how this happens.
