We all have junk drawers–in the kitchen, the office, the bedroom. Whether you have one or more, they accumulate a lot of things since they’re the catch-all for the things that don’t have a home.
It doesn’t have to stay that way. You can bring order to your junk drawer. To start the process, measure your drawer and purchase a drawer organizer with adjustable dividers. Start by dumping the entire drawer out onto a surface with enough room for you to work and start sorting the items. Decide what to keep and what you’re going to throw away. Also create a pile of things that don’t belong in the drawer and put them away once you’re done. If you can no longer use it, get rid of it. Make a decision about everything in the drawer.
Once you’ve done that, insert the drawer organizer and adjust the dividers as needed to fit your items into the various sections, then start adding items to teh drawer, placing like items together. Only put items that you actually use into the drawer and palce the items that you don’t use so often toward the back of the drawer.
On a regualr basis, purge the drawer of things that you don’t use and if there is something that doesn’t belong in that drawer don’t put it in there!
