Compartmentalize Drawers
Group like items together. This makes it easy to locate any item when it is needed. In this example, large knives are separated from small knives. Other kitchen tools are placed in separate holders making for easy access.
File Fold Towels, T-Shirts . . .
Roll towels (or t-shirts) and place in upright rows. This allows you to see each item in a quick look. Arrange by color or use, depending on your needs.
Use Color for Sorting
Whether using file folders or binders to hold documents, identify categories by color. This sustainable method of managing documents makes filing and accessing materials efficient and convenient. Needed documents are accessed quickly with minimal reading by utilizing this tip.
Practice the One In - One Out Rule
Storage space is finite! Continuous collecting and accumulating of goods results in clutter, disorder, and chaos! Every time you bring something new into your space, remove something old. When you purchase a new pair of jeans, donate an old pair. When your child gets a new toy, donate an old one.
