Finally Organize Your Junk Drawer in a Few Easy Steps!

Okay, I am completely ready to organize my junk drawer. {And I admit, I might even have two of them}. Are you as ready as I am? Let’s find out how we can both finally organize that junk drawer in a few easy steps! For a fun bonus, find out what your drunk drawer reveals about you here.

Either buy some assorted acrylic drawer dividers like these from Amazon, or just walk around the house and gather up some small boxes of assorted shapes. The acrylic is a fun, see-through look, but not necessary. Any divider you like will certainly do the job.

Once you have enough dividers, you’re ready to get that drawer under control. Remove everything, and throw out the stuff you don’t need to keep. Now arrange the dividers inside the drawer. Think Tetris when you do this, and it’s really kinda fun! Once you’ve arranged your dividers, it’s time to choose a spot for the stuff you’re keeping.

Here are some suggestions for the stuff you want to keep. Use a receipt pouch to hold the receipts you need to save. This one is semi-clear so you can see when it’s time to go through them and record them into your weekly or monthly budget.

Keep the stuff you need most often, like pens, paper clips, scissors or hand lotion in the front spaces of the drawer. The stuff you don’t need every day goes in the back, like batteries or your calculator. Corral pins in a pin cushion and rubber bands in a small bowl.

Now the next time you need something, it’ll be right there!
