Want a great feeling of accomplishment for the day that won’t take more than five minutes?

How is your junk drawer looking these days?

After getting stabbed in the finger by a stray thumbtack, I spent a few minutes straightening my kitchen junk drawer today.  It wasn’t horrible but warranted a quick cleanup.

I found a few buried treasures under the pencils that didn’t belong in the drawer. My kids tend to throw stuff they consider “junk” in the drawer and hope I don’t notice.

Dump the contents of the drawer on a table or in a box and wipe out the drawer and the containers with a cloth.  Set your containers back in the drawer and place all the items back in a sorted manner.

Drawer organizers are great for holding little things like thumbtacks, paper clips, etc.  If you find a few items that don’t belong in the drawer, take them to their appropriate places.

In five minutes you will have a neat, organized drawer again.

Wow what a difference

I received these before and after pictures from a wonderful lady who will remain anonymous. Look at the difference between the before and after pictures. Impressive! Great job!
