The fix for "it keeps getting misplaced"

Where Things Live — a home for every object

Misplacement happens when objects have no obvious home. This system gives every bin, board, ring, and card one color-coded home, matched to a wall map the whole team reads the same way. Lia's three layers: rings travel on the body, bins + boards stay in their zone, the binder lives on the shelf.

On the body

Ring tags (p.3) label what's on each staff ring — Cascade, FCR, core words. Can't be set down and lost.

In the zone

Bin labels (p.2) + shelf strips (p.3) give every material a colored zone home, matched to the map (p.1).

Reset daily

The 4 pm checklist (p.4) returns the room to its labeled state — folded into your existing cleaning sign-off.

Return the room to its labeled state · with the cleaning sign-off
A two-minute reset is the kindest thing we give tomorrow's team. Everything goes back to its color. If a home is missing or a label is worn, tell the TRS so we re-print it.
