Just a little tip :-
I have noticed myself doing this increasingly and it really does help if you can keep reminding yourself to do it!
Never go up the stairs without taking an item/s with you which belong up there and vice-versa; never go down the stairs without taking with you something which is meant belong down there or take rubbish with you en route to doing something else.
I guess you just call it multi-tasking!
Shannon over at Rocks in my dryer will have lots of great tips today!

Now, if I only had stairs…all kidding asside, I really could do this.

I do this all the time. My kids think I’m crazy when I see them headed somewhere, because I load them up with other things!

I’ve heard this before and done once or twice. Thanks for the reminder – I should do this more often. It does help a lot.
