Everyday Made Easy: Rearranging for Simplicity

I was reading Julie Morgenstern's book Organizing From the Inside Out and I came to the realization that, although my home is quite organized, there were many changes I needed to make.
I've always had the idea that 'like' needed to be grouped with 'like'. Julie challenges this notion with her smart, but obvious suggestion of putting things away where you need to use them.
Sounds simple enough, but when I thought about the daily tasks and activities that go on in my household, there was some rearranging I could do to speed up and simplify the process.

Come see how you can organize your home to make daily tasks easier...
I placed a canister of assorted teas right beside the tea kettle instead of having them all in the pantry.
I put together a plastic tote filled with everything my son needs to do his homework instead of keeping most of the supplies in my office. This means less distractions.
I added a roll of paper towel and my favorite all-purpose natural cleaner under each sink for quick morning clean-ups.
