Tip: Double-Duty Organizing Helpers

Keep small items under control with drawer organizers. The plastic trays normally used for cutlery are perfect for this task. They can be purchased individually or as a solid unit, many are now expandable which makes fitting in drawers easier.

These are great for organizing items in a desk drawer like paper clips, push pins, pencils and pens. Another perfect spot is the dreaded junk drawer we all seem to have in our kitchens. Use the separate compartments to keep twist ties, elastics, pens, memo pads in order.  KitchenAid Expandable Gadget Tray

Remember, organizing is more than just putting up shelves, buying containers and throwing things out. It’s also about learning how to let go of unnecessary items, changing the behaviors that caused the clutter to accumulate, then develop new habits that will keep your life in order.
