15 Things to Have in Your Command Center
Command Centers are exactly what they sound like. They are the main space in the home where everything can be found. This is where you can store all important information and paperwork that needs to be shared with the whole family. I recently wrote a post, “5 Ways to Organize Children”, where I discussed having designated areas for children’s belongings. This is that but for adults! If you have designated areas, everyone knows exactly where to look for things.
Of course, organization is a HUGE benefit of having a command center, but there are a few more benefits as well. Communication is the biggest benefit of having a command center. This is a great way to keep all of your important items together and keep your family connected.
Here is a list of some of the things you may want to have in your own command center:
Calendar
Dinner menu for the week
Wall mounted letter holder for incoming mail
Wall mounted letter holder for outgoing mail
Key ring holder
Holder for pens or other writing tools
A spot for artwork
A spot for any decorative pieces you would like to add
Chore charts for you and your children
Hooks for any backpacks or anything needed to grab on the way out
Clock
Cork Board
Dry erase board

You do not have to put ALL of these things in your command center but these are pretty good ideas for you to start and you can choose what you would like.
