Anyone that knows me knows that I have a slight obsession with organization. It just literally gives me life and I honestly find it so fun. I love cleaning out closets, rooms, drawers and just reorganizing everything. Being organized also helps me stay efficient in my everyday life. I want to show you how I organize specific rooms and closets very soon, but for now I want to share with you some products that help me stay organized.
1)Planners
I use the calendar on my iPhone everyday and it’s perfect for on the go, but I do keep a planner on my desk at home. I write down all of my personal/work appointments, my son’s appointments, what I am going to be making for dinner that day, and also just a general list of things I want to accomplish that week or month that don’t have an exact deadline. It really helps me plan things out ahead of time and I reference it regularly. I really love the Erin Condren Life Planner, it’s pretty big but I don’t mind since I leave it at home. I also really love this small, marble one from bloom daily planners. I just came across this Simplified Planner which I think perfectly suits my needs, I am definitely going to be ordering it for next year. Writing things down is my #1 tip for staying organized.
2)Pantry Storage Containers
OXO Good Grips storage containers are by far the best. They keep your food fresh and your pantry looking on point. They have so many sizes you can use them to store anything and everything. I have tons of them in my pantry, including their Cereal Dispensers. I love being able to see everything so I know what is in which container and so I know when I am running low on something. I take all of our food products out of their boxes and put them in these
3)Drawer Dividers
These drawer dividers keep my kitchen drawers perfectly tidy. I organize all of my k-cups underneath my Keurig with them so it’s like a little beverage station. I also use them in my other drawers to keep all of my cooking utensils in order so I know where everything is and so they aren’t loose and moving around all over the drawer. I have tried other drawer dividers and these are by far my favorite because they are a high quality wood and they stay right where I place them.
I can not even count how many bins and baskets I have. I use these in my refrigerator and under my bathroom sink to organize my hair and bath products. I use these in my linen closet to store cleaning supplies and extra bath products. And I use these in my pantry to store snacks and what not. Not only do they keep everything neat and in their place, they look so nice too.
5) Storage Bins
It may seem like an obvious one but these storage bins are all over my house. I use them to store clothes my son has grown out of, his art supplies, toys, office paperwork I need to keep, etc. They are perfect for all of those things you want to keep and store away. Honestly the options are endless, I would me lost without these. I label them too so I know exactly what is in each one.
I mentioned this last week when I shared my favorite baby products but this is a must for anyone to have in their purse. Now that I use my bag organizer I know where everything is in my bag at all times, no more digging around forever trying to find my wallet or keys. It also makes switching bags super easy. It is for everyone too not just for those of us with little ones.
