Divide and Conquer!


ORGANIZE YOUR JUNK DRAWER.

We all have one, or two - it's okay, we need them!  They provide storage for all of those little items that don't belong anywhere else, and happen to fit nicely in a drawer.  But over time, we put so much stuff into that drawer we can barely open it, much less find anything.  That ends now! 

Let's get started and pick your drawer.  Grab a couple empty tupperware bowls to use for sorting, and place a trash can nearby.  


Clear the counter or surface above the drawer for a work space. 

Take everything out of the drawer, sorting trash into the trash can, and items into tupperware.  If the drawer is deep enough, simply put the tupperware back in the drawer as drawer organizers.    

The secret to organizing a junk drawer is to "Divide and Conquer."  Drawer organizers divide the drawer into smaller sections to keep small items together. 

Don't feel that everything in the drawer needs to 'make sense.'  The purpose of a junk drawer is to hold those little items that don't have anywhere else to live. Containerizing them keeps them together and easier to find.

It's really that easy.
