Organizing gurus often say to start your organizing efforts on the spaces that drive you crazy - the junk drawer is a space it often feels impossible to control. Junk drawers accumulate all the bits and pieces of our daily lives that have no other home - but they don't have to be chaotic. Use drawer organizers and bins to collect like items by function like extra batteries; paper clips, tape & rubber bands; screws, washers, nuts & bolts; and you'll find you can tame that junk drawer.
There are a lot of small items we keep in our desks. If there are no drawer organizers or bins in your drawers, every drawer can become a junk drawer. If a junk drawer is like the ocean and you are a ship, the waters contained with the ocean are far too choppy to navigate your way through. Visibility is low. You are fighting your way through and going nowhere. If you can’t easily see what you are looking for, it can be difficult to find what you need quickly. This can quickly lead to frustration as it brings what you are working on to an abrupt halt, until that item has been found. By organizing your desk drawers or your junk drawer, you can have similar items sorted out into their own compartments, facilitating an easier navigation to the treasure you seek. The compartments are like giant X marks the spot signs pointing to where you need to go. You can attain this level of organization easily. It only takes a little bit of planning and preparation, then you can have all your drawers mapped out.
Ask yourself a few questions in order to get started on creating that map. What items do you need storage for in your drawer? What are the measurements of your drawer? What are the measurements of the organizers and bins on SpaceSavers.com? Do you want a single organizer or would a modular system of individual storage bins work better? What are your personal tastes.
Paperclips and rubber bands can be stored within the same compartment or bin, but it is a good idea to store your thumbtacks in its own small compartment. You don’t want to be reaching for a rubber band and stick your finger on a thumbtack or pushpin. Group pencils and pens in a compartment together. Put highlighters in another. Keep your memo pads separated from the rest. Glue, glue sticks, and tape can be kept together. Arrange it however you want. Just come up with an organizing system that makes sense to you.
After you measure the inside width, length, and depth of the drawer you are organizing and have browsed through some of the various options of organizers on SpaceSavers.com, now is the time to sketch out a layout of the drawer you want to organize, if you are using modular storage bins. If you are using one solid drawer organizer, just make sure the organizer fits within your drawer. The organizer measurements should be just a bit shy of the inside measurements of your drawer. If your organizer is significantly smaller than the drawer space, consider an organizer with gripping feet or a non skid backing on the bottom to keep the organizer from sliding around in your drawer. With the modular storage drawer bins, play around with the different sized bins – sketching it out on paper – until you find a layout you like and that will fit within the space you have. Make you have the right number of compartments for the different items you want to keep sorted separately, as well as the right sized compartments for the items you have in the drawer.
After you are done measuring, done sketching out the layout you think will work best, the easy part of the whole process begins: order the organizers and bins that are going to work best for you. If you prefer plastic, SpaceSavers.com has plastic organizers and bins. If you prefer bamboo for the eco-friendly sustainability of the material, then keep that in mind when selecting your organizers. If you prefer the look of mesh, you can get that at SpaceSavers.com too. Whatever you want and need, find it at SpaceSavers.com.
