Attacking it just a little bit at a time is the best way to approach it. And, the dividends you will receive by having a neat and organized home (and life) will far outweigh the time you spent on these organizing tips. Ready - lets get started!
Todays topic: Junk drawers. Everyone has them, no one can find anything in them. Time to do something about that. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, this won't take long. Also grab some cardboard, scissors and packing tape. You're gonna need them. Let's organize!

Todays topic: Junk drawers. Everyone has them, no one can find anything in them. Time to do something about that. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, this won't take long. Also grab some cardboard, scissors and packing tape. You're gonna need them. Let's organize!
- take the drawer out of the cabinet. How? Pull it all the way out, then reach around the back corners, there is usually a clip you press to disengage the drawer from the sliders. Do it.
- put the drawer on a table, remove everything from the drawer.
- If you are feeling extra ambitious, line the drawer with some shelf paper or whatever you have on hand. Gift wrap works fine.
- drink your coffee or tea.
- toss the obvious trash.
- put away things that don't belong in there - money, hair bows, menus, pencils, etc. (money goes in your pocket, hair bows in your daughters room, menus in a menu binder or drawer, pencils in a pencil cup mounted on the wall next to your phone).
- organize what's left - scissors, screwdrivers, chapstick, rubberbands, tape measure, etc. Put like with like.
- drink your coffe or tea.
- cut the cardboard into strips the height of the drawer.
- use your spacial skills to figure out what size sections you will need in the drawer.
- make the sections using the cardboard and tape. Cut and arrange the strips into sections approx. the size of the scissors, rubberbands, etc.
- use the tape to attach the cardboard sections to the drawer sides and bottom and to each other
- put the items in the correct sized sections.
- finish your coffee or tea.
- done!
