Here’s the thing about the junk drawer, though. It doesn’t actually work all that well to help you find those things you’ve placed inside it.

I quickly discovered that once your nail polish stash sails past about 5 bottles, you can no longer just lump it in a drawer with the rest of your makeup and expect everything to stay organized.

Many people are still asking me, “Where can I donate things I don’t want anymore?” The good news is, there are multiple options, even during the fluctuating conditions of the pandemic!

If you agree with me that you see the benefits of an organized home and want one for yourself, then what do you do next?

I went back to one of my core principles of working out: I have to pay in advance so that skipping a workout feels like a huge loss.

The only way to ensure that kids grow up to be organized adults is to set them up for success from the very beginning!

I strongly believe that organizing is for men, too. And there are so many reasons for this that have absolutely nothing to do with a feminist agenda (although let’s be real, I definitely have one of those).

In multi-person households, I recommend two coordinating strategies for getting and staying organized.
