Organize your junk drawer
It is easy to transform junk drawers into neatly organized compartments.
* The first big step to organizing a drawer is creating dividers. This will be easy.
You will need cardboard, scissors and shelf paper. Start by cutting strips of cardboard to size and cover them with shelf paper. Leave a wee notch on each of the ends so that the cardboard dividers can interlock.
* Use an egg carton for the little items that end up in a junk drawer. This will keep your items tidy. It also helps keep visual order in the drawer so that you can instantly see what is in each small space.
* Purchase a pre-assembled utility basket or even a utensil holder that matches the dimensions of your drawer to quickly begin to get things in good order.
Place all similar items together in clear plastic bags to allow you to see them easily. Film canisters can be used to collect small items such as change, tacks and buttons.
If you find that a work activity has to cut into your time, make an adjustment, but do not make this part of your new habit or routine.
Helping Students Get Organized
Use timers and alarms.
It had taken tremendous courage for Jerri to invite someone into her space, into her life, but this 29-year old explained tearfully, Its overwhelming. Hang clothes in the closet by type, arranging similar items together, and by use. Separate what is important to you in your personal life. How about the telephone? That should be priority number one.
