How to Create a Family Command Center to Stay Organized After Your Move

How to Create a Family Command Center to Stay Organized After Your Move

After a move, keeping your family organized is key to settling in smoothly. One effective solution is creating a family command center—a centralized hub where schedules, reminders, and essentials come together. Here’s how to set one up.

Choose the Right Location

Pick a high-traffic area, like the kitchen or entryway. The location should be easily accessible to all family members.

Gather Essential Tools

Your command center may include:
• A large family calendar (digital or paper)
• Whiteboard or corkboard for notes and reminders
• File folders for mail, bills, and school papers
• Key hooks and charging stations

Personalize for Your Family’s Needs

Every household is different. Some families may need chore charts, while others benefit from meal planning boards or sports schedules. Tailor the setup to fit your routines.

Keep It Visible and Simple

The command center should be straightforward and uncluttered. Use clear labels and color-coding for easy reference.

Make It a Family Habit

Encourage everyone to update the calendar and check the board daily. Consistency ensures the system works long-term.

Review and Refresh Regularly

Set aside time weekly to update schedules, rotate out old papers, and reset the space. A fresh command center keeps your household running smoothly.
