Paper everywhere! How to organize what to keep. Mail, receipts, paperwork, etc.

By

First, take a deep breath, look at your mail pile and holler and I mean HOLLAH a good “You don’t control me. I control you!” This project may just change your life… ok that’s going a bit far, but once you get the paper under control with a system that works for you, you can maintain [...]

I need help organizing my craft room! Where do I start?

By

The challenge with organizing a craft room is usually all the small odds and ends that need to have a home so that you can find them when you need them. I also find that one has to come up with solutions for housing odd-sized items like poster-board paper and tools. Using the organizing principle, [...]

What is the best way to organize big and bulky items? My son loves GeoTrax, but store them discretely is very tough!

By

For this type of toy, I’m a big fan of clear storage bins like these from Rubbermaid. Here’s why… Kids love to dig around and find just the right piece for their creation. It’s important for the bin not to be too deep otherwise the individual pieces are difficult to find.  I suggest finding the [...]

I have adult ADD, any suggestions to help me stay organized without feeling overwhelmed?

By

Staying organized means you need to constantly put things back in their organized spot. I do however wish it magically stayed organized all by itself! I suggest implementing a “5 minute pick up-clean up”.  It’s as easy as setting the timer and putting things away. It works great with the entire household. When I do [...]

I’m a media specialist and we have 18 MP3 players that need to be organized. They’re currently dumped in a drawer. Any thoughts?

By

The first question is why do you have 18 MP3 players? If possible, pick your favorite one for every member of the household and sell or donate the rest if they are in working condition. You might even keep one extra in case someone’s breaks or is out of batteries. To organize them,  pair each [...]

I need containers to store scrapbooks. Not the really big ones because they have to be lifted up onto a closet shelf.

By

The trick with storing scrapbooks is to find containers tall enough to store them (without going to wide with the solution) since scrapbooks are traditionally long in size. You can probably get away with storing 4-5 scrapbooks in this Snaptop Plastic Storage Case by Iris. I like that it’s clear and can be labeled and [...]

I need to organize the cleaning products under my kitchen sink. The sink is in the corner of the kitchen.

By

There are a couple products that will help you keep all your cleaning supplies in order. Consider using plastic bins (just in case something spills), especially the ones that slide out to make it easier for you reach. Check out the Rubbermaid  Slide ‘n Stack Sliding Baskets,  and for sponges and smaller items, try the [...]

What do you recommend for storing many 12″ action figures? I’m thinking something like clear stackable cubes with apothecary drawers.

By

I’m going to make the assumption that these are action figures that are played with, not collectible items that are still in their packaging. How you store these action figures will depend on how you’re planning to use them. Are they played with a lot? Do you need super-easy access to specific individual figures? If [...]

I clean my room everyday what can I do to stay organized?

By

The key to maintaining order is having great habits and routines. If you can get into the habit of putting away items when you’re through using them, or just putting stuff away before bed, then in my opinion you’re staying organized. If you don’t have a place for everything, that might be because you have [...]
